This August I had the opportunity to work with John Moore (Sensible Films – and previously 360 Degrees Films) on a documentary about Slim Dusty. We traveled up to the Gympie Muster to capture some of Slim’s old fans.
Slim Dusty’s grandson, James Arneman is the director/writer. It was a pleasure to work him and also with the experienced Peter Zacharov and Mark Tarpey, who are always generous with their knowledge. Peter, Mark and John have all been in the industry for over 30 years each. I feel lucky to have the opportunity to work with these guys and learn the craft of doco making alongside them. Looking forward to seeing the film when it’s finished.
FYI: John Produced and wrote HAROLD: A portrait of Harold Blair in 1995. Directed by: Steve Thomas, my Documentary lecturer at the VCA.
An important story for Queensland and still often exhibited and referred to in terms of Aboriginal history and activism.
