About

A landmark documentary about The National Black Theatre movement in Redfern and its crucial role in 1970s Aboriginal rights activism. Working with indigenous filmmaker Darlene Johnson, who’s built her career tackling race and racism in Australian society. The film traces how this small theatre shaped national politics, social welfare, and the arts scene.

Role

This project marked my transition to Soundfirm at Fox Studios – a big step up from TV stations and ad production houses. Working at Fox really felt like my big break.

Recognition

The film won an Atom Award for Best Documentary for Social and Political Issues, with nominations at the Sydney Film Festival, Walkley Awards, and Australian Directors Guild.
