Adelaide Punk finally on YouTube!

In a move far bolder than I have made as yet, Alan Sheldon, my colleague and former classmate from Advanced MAPS 2006 has finally put his masterpiece, Adelaide Punk up on YouTube. The film centres around Jack and Sally, a young punk couple in love who run away from home only to find themselves caught in a spider's web when they stumble upon a madman's tea party. Director Alan Sheldon holds his tongue in cheek and his heart on his sleeve with references to David Lynch, John Waters, Michel Gondry and punk culture.

Adelaide Punk has many ties to Suit Up!; I was production designer and editor on the former and Alan was 2nd A.D. on the latter. Furthermore, two of Adelaide Punk's major characters, Sally, the young punkress, and Eddie Crackers, the mad tea enthusiast, are played by Lynda Ferguson and Trav Nash (respectively).

Do check it out, and of course you can read the now-defunct blog here (and Alan's new project, Mondo Insano, has a blog here.

EDIT: And you can watch the behind the scenes stuff, too!

Trav Nash pleads Plotless @ Adelaide Fringe

Suit Up!'s own Trav Nash is performing his show "Trav Nash Has Lost The Plot" all this week at Rhino Room (downstairs, 6:30pm, 27-31 March 2007). Adelaideians and Fringe Festival attendees interested in some bizarre comedy, madcap animations and incredible guest stars should go check it out. Be warned: it's not for the faint of heart. I'm scarred for life, but I laughed my ass off.

And good luck to Lynda Ferguson, who this week headed off on an extended trip to Sydney.

AFF07, Kino Kabaret all done

I was working in the Lab late one night...

The Adelaide Film Festival and the Kino Kabaret 2007 are now over. I'm very sad about it all - I'd been looking forward to it for so long, and it was over all too quickly. Still, I am definitely the richer for both events, having taken in about 12 films and 5 special events in the duration of the festival. Can't wait for next time, let's hope I'm around for it!
