Director Statement

I created this documentary over almost a year with my best friend Charlie Jones. We were both working our arses off trying not to go broke, but we managed to uncover the lost history of this fascinating and under appreciated part of Sydney's history on weekends... while it's not perfect, the friends we made while creating this will last a long time.
