The Projectionist
Short Film
2018
STORY / PRODUCER / EDITOR / COLOURIST
Screen Australia, Epic Films, CINEMÂCHÉ
18 minutes
My filmmaking partner at CINEMÂCHÉ director Marcus McKenzie and Epic Films producer Kirsty Stark won funding from Screen Australia to make this short film. A bit of a jack of all trades on the project, I was involved with everything from story to casting to budgeting. The multiple timelines rendered the edit a challenge, but drawing on my extensive experience from my music videos days I was able to juggle the material while remaining focused on storytelling. One bit of inspiration actually derived from Martin Scorsese’s Masterclass. At the time we were struggling to find the right beginning for the film. Martin spoke about utilising shots from other scenes to create new and unexpected scenes and from this I realised I could repurpose otherwise disparate and unused assets to create the striking introduction the story required. We finished everything inhouse including the final DCP.
