HAIL /

m // Close friend and travel partner, costume designer ZOHIE CASTELLANO, has recently worked on the AUSTRALIAN feature film HAIL, directed by the very talented AMIEL COURTIN-WILSON and produced by MICHAEL CODY. The film has received great reviews and was selected for Official Competition in the Orrizonti section as part of VENIZE FILM FESTIVAL, the first Australian dramatic feature in nearly ten years... The whole cast and crew of the film came down for the festival and we were fortunate to spend some time with them at the end of our stay. During dinner one evening DANNY proposed to LEANNE at the table, and they are now set to marry after the end of the festival. Romantic Venezia!

'Dan is in love with Leanne. They were born on the same day: November 6, 1960. They eat together. They live together. They steal together. When Dan’s love is suddenly ripped away from him, he is reduced to savagery. Dan swallows. Dan tries to sleep. Dan tries to hide. Suffocating and filled with violence, Dan thrashes against the tide and goes on a journey to take back what is his. The past is not a dead thing – it may return, like a hunter, to follow us for a time.'

James Blake - Limit to Your Love

James Blake - Limit To Your Love from James Blake on Vimeo.

t/ Finally, my first post on Fruity Legsia! What an honour to be sharing and creating things with two lovely ladies I admire so much! (Apologies if I stuff up the linking to stuff. This is all new to me!)

Well, this clip has been doing the blog rounds of late, but I still wanted to post about it. I’ve been watching it over and over and not getting sick of it. The floaty camera work, the odd things going on, the detail, the close-ups, the clever use of lighting – it creates a wonderful feeling of intimacy and loneliness at the same time.

The director is Martin de Thurah and you can see a lot of his other films on Vimeo. I highly recommend the short piece titled ‘Water City’.

You probably recognise the song as it is originally by Feist. I would go as far as to say this version is better though. James Blake is only 22 and creates such unique music. It is so different to what I have been listening to lately - a bit dub, a bit RnB, and a bit of something else I don’t know. I highly recommend his latest EP, (aptly named) ‘CMYK’.
