<description>Welcome to the latest episode of the Cinema Australia Podcast.

In this episode, I’m joined by Luke J.S. and Luke Wijayasinha-Gray to discuss Your Love is Mine, a moody and atmospheric relationship drama with a touch of horror. 

Your Love is Mine explores the depths of love and desperation and tells the story of a couple whose relationship is put to the ultimate test when a sudden tragedy strikes. As one partner goes to unimaginable lengths to preserve their union, the film delves into the emotional extremes that love can drive us to. Your Love is Mine stars Senie Priti, Lester Ellis Jr, and Maurial Spearim.

It’s always a thrill to speak with independent filmmakers who are starting out in their career. I really can’t wait to see what these two do next. 

Your Love is Mine is available to stream now via Bounty Films. 

Anyway… enjoy. </description>

<description>In this episode I’m joined by Eliza Cox, a filmmaker who has dedicated years of her life to making this exceptional new documentary.

Shot over eight years, Queens of Concrete chronicles the journey from childhood to adulthood and the moments that define us. It’s 2016 and Hayley (14), Ava (13) and Charlotte (9) are following their dreams to qualify for the first ever Australian Olympic skateboarding team for the 2020 games. 

The three girls are strong contenders, but they face crushing life lessons as they navigate heartbreak, betrayal, a global pandemic, and pressure beyond their years.

In this interview, Eliza gives us a generous insight in the making of Queens of Concrete discussing the early beginnings of the film, when she first met Hayley, Ava and Charlotte, and the challenges she faced dedicating so many years of her life to this one single documentary. 

As a viewer, I can assure you it was worth it. Queens of Concrete is already one of my favourite films of the year. 

Queens of Concrete will release via Madman this year. Keep an eye on cinemaaustralia.com.au for updates on that. 

Anyway… enjoy.</description>

<description>In this episode I’m joined by The Demon Disorder director, writer, producer and special effects artist, Steve Boyle. 

The Demon Disorder follows brothers Jake (played by Dirk Hunter) and Graham (played by Christian Willis). When their youngest brother is believed to be demonically possessed, the estranged brothers reunite to confront a dreadful family secret. Charles Cottier, John Noble and Tobie Webster co-star. In my opinion, The Demon Disorder features some of the best practical effects you’ll see in a modern horror film. 

Working with some of the biggest names in film and television, Steve Boyle has built a reputation for world-class standards in Special FX Production within the industry. 

With over 30 years experience in Special FX, Steve’s credits as a designer include; Fear Below, The Portable Door, Love and Monsters, Daybreakers, BAIT 3D, Mental, Predestination and Jungle to name a few.

In this interview, Steve gives us a great insight into the making of The Demon Disorder while sharing stories from his long career in the industry including his friendship and creative partnership with Michael and Peter Spierig, his time working on Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, and his upcoming work on Kiah Roache Turner’s highly anticipated shark horror, Beast of War.

Anyway… Enjoy.</description>

Episode #114 | Steve Boyle

<description>In this episode I’m joined by The Blind Sea writer, director and editor Daniel Fenech, and the film’s main man, Matt Formston.

The Blind Sea follows Matt on his quest for sporting greatness to new heights, setting a new Guinness World Record for the largest wave surfed by a vision impaired male.

Matt is a four time para surfing World Champion, former Paralympic Cyclist and World Champion. At the age of five, Matt was diagnosed with Macular Dystrophy, a rare eye condition that left him two life-changing things: 3% vision, and a desire ever since to do what everyone else says can’t be done.

Daniel Fenech is an award-winning director with over 15 years production experience in commercials, music videos and documentary style content. Daniel’s most recent film prior to this was Christmess which he co-produced with the film’s writer and director, Heath Davis.

The Blind Sea is one of the most compassionate, moving and visually breathtaking documentaries I’ve seen in years. Matt’s journey is nothing short of awe-inspiring and he’s also very personable which makes The Blind Sea an even more enjoyable film to watch.

Before we jump into it, I need to let you know I did have some recording issues at the very beginning of this episode and I missed out on the introduction, so if it feels like we jump strait into it, that’s when the recording began. 

 Anyway… enjoy.</description>

Episode #113 | Matt Formston & Daniel Fenech

<description>Welcome to the Cinema Australia Podcast.

I can’t even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed recording this episode with Flathead writer and director, Jaydon Martin. Originally, this was meant to be a written interview, but as soon as I began chatting with Jaydon, my instincts told me that he was about to share some insights into the making of Flathead that I really needed to capture audibly. And I’m so glad I did.

Simply put, Jaydon’s Flathead is a masterpiece - and it’s already one of my very favourite films of the year. It’s classified as docufiction, a new genre of cinema that even Jaydon believes is a newly coined term. It’s hard to explain what that means, but once you listen to Jaydon’s stories, you’ll understand exactly what docufiction is. 

Flathead follows Cass, played by actor Cass Cumerford. Late in life, Cass is drawn to his long-forsaken childhood home of Bundaberg,
where he finds himself on a spiritual search for redemption.

Anyway… enjoy.</description>
