About

A beautifully complex tale directed by Sascha Ettinger-Epstein about the last brothel in Kalgoorlie, an old gold rush town. What starts as an ‘odd couple’ story between the madam and her longest-serving worker gradually reveals something darker – a relationship wrapped in co-dependency, set against the backdrop of a fading outback empire.

The Pink House won the Documentary Australia Foundation Award at the 2017 Sydney Film Festival.

Creative Process

Working one-on-one with the director on this lean indie production meant taking the creative lead on the design side. Documentary directors know story inside out, but motion design is a different language, so it’s about finding that sweet spot where your visuals amplify their narrative.
