2026 is reminding me of Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement and the brutal response to it. I produced this film during lockdown from mostly materials sourced online. It was screened at the 2022 Melbourne Documentary Film Festival @mdff.bsky.social

Thanks everyone who came to the premier of KNOW ME at the @mdff.bsky.social (Melbourne Documentary Film Festival) last Sunday afternoon. There were tears, heart warming embraces, reunions too and discussion that flowed from Cinema Nova's foyer onto a nearby pub and into the evening back home.

First time seeing Temple Lament on the big screen @mdff.bsky.social Good to see the space and the detail in the film, to have a live audience, to discuss the movie at the Q&A with 3CR's Annie McLaughlin, and the young director of Verge Collection, another of the films at the session. Fun time.

Melbourne Documentary Film Festival @mdff.bsky.social is on right now. Packed with fascinating docos. www.mdff.org.au Now in cinema at @cinemanova.bsky.social My own Temple Lament is on July 27th 10.30am session followed by Q&A. It would be good to meet folks from Blue Sky there. Sarva Mangalam!
Not long back from Whoopee Blues, first night in cinema @mdff.bsky.social A real education for me as relative newcomer to Melbourne on the wild 70s in old Prahran. Crazy iterations of the eclectic band, with a side of Circus Oz. Very impressed that Jim Conway played harp with Brownie McGee.
