Director Biography - Wade Ranson

After spending years collaborating as a videographer, music creator and actor on short film and television, Peddler is Wade's directorial debut.

Director Statement

Peddler is a test project for the Day Jobs project that lead actor Sarah McSweeney and I have co-written during our covid lockdown. Sarah is close friend and housemate of my two daughters and we felt that working together and agreeing on what is funny and poignant in the script would mean that there is some inter generational truth to the concepts. Our goal with Peddler was to tap into our shared experience of intermittent work and the Perth original music scene.
