Eyre & Sea
On the edge of the Great Australian Bight, a wild place where vast desert spills into roaring ocean, weather is king. A pristine environment supporting a unique array of wildlife, including the endangered Australian sea lion.
Here, in a town with a population of 3, lives Alan. In a life shaped around the natural world, an unlikely relationship with a colony of pinnipeds, has fundamentally changed him.

As a first-time filmmaker with an affinity for nature, I’ve been deeply interested in moments of connection between humans and wildlife, and the impact on both parties. Throughout the time I got to know Alan, I was inspired by his personal life philosophy, as influenced by wildlife and nature.
With a nimble crew of just myself and a second camera operator, we set out to shadow Alan during his daily routine.
Shorter Synopsis:
