Sex, Drugs and Homelessness

In Downtown Los Angeles, Skid Row contains one of the largest stable population of homeless people in the United States. Skid Row is not just an area but an example of marginalisation and inequality. "Sex, Drugs and Homelessness" is an exploration of the human condition. The great American social experiment, maintaining the divide with the creation of a “double triple under class, super triple underclass”. A glimpse into the under class as a community and how it has taken shape to exist within the system. Is Skid Row inevitable in the realm of this society or is there hope to reform?

Operation Jeedara

In 2010, BP was responsible for the world’s largest oil spill in the Gulf Of Mexico. Over several months, the rig spewed nearly 5 million barrels of oil into the ocean, killing millions of animals and destroying the surrounding environment. Less than a year later, the Australian Government signed papers allowing BP to come to Australia and drill in deeper and rougher seas. In 2016, The Great Australian Bight Alliance announced the launch of ‘Operation Jeedara’ – a campaign that would see the ‘Steve Irwin’ sail into the heart of the Great Australian Bight to document the beauty of the region in order to showcase what we would all stand to lose if we let BP drill there. This film is the story of the campaign.

The Prince of Ostia Bronx

Dario and Maury, two actors refused from any theatre, academy, and cinema have decided to move to the gay Roman nudist beach of Capocotta. Here, they have set their stage, in a place where people come to feel free and unconstrained by the rules of society. Persevering with their philosophy of ‘failure as a new form of victory’ they have become the Principe (the Prince) and the Contessa (the Countess) of the beach. In 20 years, they have gathered their own loyal audience, staging scenes and creating a long repertoire of amateur little movies where they confess the bitter reality of missing the stage, the one “only the so-called ‘gentlemen’ are allowed to deal with.” With irreverent tones of Pop, Dance and Folk music, this film celebrates failure as a parody, making anybody willing to watch, a Prince or a Countess of the non-victories.​
