South Australian Film Corp and Adelaide Film Festival funded shorts

Late last year I had the privilege of shooting one of three films funded by the SAFC and AFF. This initiative alongside support from Panavision Australia allowed us to create a wonderful little script called The Last Elephant on Earth. The film is currently in post and is aiming to be released early 2021.
