“Sundowners”, writer, co-director, producer, star (Jay), Bailey co-director and producer join the booth to chat about their nominated Best WA Short Film. We chat everything from low budget filmmaking, creating on the fly, their creative process as long time collaborators and how to find the perfect unknown lead. The film is a raw, unfiltered and honest depiction of sleeping rough and surviving through optimism with moments reminiscent of “Nomadland” and “Paris, Texas.” We talk creating an atmosphere to capture authenticity and how to follow your gut instinct despite the monetary difficulties of creating in what is increasingly a monetised industry. But also, how to have fun while creating difficult work. It’s a corker.
