In 1983 Howson announced he had written a stage musical called Beyond My Reach which he hoped would be directed by Rodney Fisher. "It is about people who try to succeed so much that they end up with success and very little else," he said. "Although it uses the show business model, it's the sort of message that can be applied to anyone who's tryig to succeed."[4]
Howson had made three films directed by Pino Amenta but the two men had a falling out when Howson wanted to direct Hunting himself. Howson claimed he wanted Amento to direct Beyond My Reach "but his girlfriend, a make-up artist of little note caused some problems and that was it. And t-t-t-that’s showbiz, folks. Egos, egos, egos."[5]
Receptionedit
The film was not theatrically released in Australia but screened widely on cable. Filmink said "it’s well acted (Howson once more showed his eye for talent by giving a lead role to Alan Fletcher) and has interesting themes… it just feels like it’s written too hurriedly. There are good moments, like a sequence demonstrating the impact of violence on screen."[6]
