Experiencing Interruptions?

Leave sth in your wake

As the wave of demolition and construction continues its unrelenting sweep across Sydney, its population, wise to the shenanigans of politicians and developers, knows too well that this physical transformation is the measure of a society increasingly polarised racially, religiously and economically. To stake a claim in the midst of change is to seize fragments of and piece together moving imagery that responds to the visual clutter disseminated by a city in transmutation.

Director Statement

I attempt to explore the visual language of the moving image with every film I create. A subject that re-occurs in many of my films is the passage of the urban experience within urban localities.
