Hey Guys,
Just want to share a fantastic film project that is currently running a Pozible crowdfunding campaign to help see it come to life. I am fortunate to be involved with the development of some of the music for the score and wanted to help get the word out there about this wonderful work that deals with both indigenous and refugee themes, both very timely issues. Check it out!
Here is a brief intro to it:
'Why Refraction?
A significant body of research had been conducted suggesting that certain Aboriginal groups had ancestral links to the Indian Subcontinent. Their ancestors had journeyed enormous distances to finally settle on the beautiful shores of Australia. It occurred to us that people from that Indian Subcontinent were still making this journey. Sadly, for many it was to avoid persecution.
It was as if the paths of two different peoples had mirrored each other but over time the mirror’s reflection had been distorted through varying historical circumstances. Refraction. In this film, we endeavour to illuminate the commonality of all human experience even though the light may shine upon us all differently.'
