The Battlers
Art Direction
Fairly sensitive melodrama about life on the back-roads in Australia at the height of the Great Depression. Centring on the developing romance between two drifters this presents a commendable level of period detail. Based on the novel by Kylie Tennant.
Chase Through the Night
Production Design
A group of hardened criminals on the lam take refuge in the badlands of the Australian outback. When they come across a small settlement, they take hostages in case the law shows up, but are outwitted by a supernatural force, a powerful shaman.
The Plumber
Art Direction
At first simply grating, the presence of a hard-edged, macho plumber who damages more than he repairs and returns day after day soon turns menacing for the intellectual wife of a distracted doctor.
