    40 - 🐕 THE BIG DOG 🐕 with director Dane McCusker

    The Big Dog is playing at a cinema near you! Tickets available here https://www.2cpictures.com/films/thebigdog Dane McCusker is a director in Sydney, whose debut feature The Big Dog is about to start its theatrical release after sold-out sessions at Sydney Film Festival. The Big Dog is a dramedy about a married stockbroker with a penchant for the esoteric fetish "findom" - financial domination. When his secret dominatrix cleans out all of his bank accounts, he has one day to save his life from ruin. It's a hilarious, heart-wrenching and nuanced interrogation of class, gender and toxic masculinity. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

    35 - Maya Newell on The Dreamlife of Georgie Stone

    Maya Newell is a documentary filmmaker in Sydney whose body of work is a beautiful testament to the power of documentary to engender empathy. Her first feature documentary, Gayby Baby, followed the experiences of children of same-sex parents, and her second, In My Blood It Runs, is a cinematic portrait of a young Indigenous boy in central Australia - it was selected for the Sundance Music and Sound Design Lab. Often working with her participants as credited collaborators, Maya's documentaries are emotionally stunning and politically vital. Her most recent film, The Dreamlife of Georgie Stone, is a half-hour Netflix Original following teenage trans activist Georgie Stone. In this interview, we chatted about her beginnings in video art, the experience of recording an orchestral score for In My Blood It Runs at Skywalker Sound, and how she and Georgie Stone discovered a format and tone that would suit Georgie's story.
