About
Life After the Oasis (Sascha Ettinger-Epstein, 2019) was a follow up to the multi award winning film, The Oasis (2008). It takes a raw look at Sydney’s homeless youth was produced by Shark Island Productions for both broadcast and education markets. I really valued being part of their broader mission – they create study guides alongside their films to help tackle youth issues in the classroom. It was part of their ongoing work with underprivileged youth, including projects like Stories from the Inside, made with young inmates at a correctional facility.
Process
Another collaboration with director Sascha Ettinger-Epstein, and a chance to work with the talented Lieke Milder on the animation side. We developed the titles through a series of mood boards and style frames, gradually finding a visual language that supported the film’s tough subject matter.
Recognition
The film was nominated for the Documentary Foundation Australia Award at the 2019 Sydney Film Festival.
