DEAREST readers! Today I am very excited and a little nervous to share with you a short film about this year’s TDF Open House, staged earlier this month in Melbourne! Oh Lord, the film is so gorgeous, AND the music is brilliant..! PLEASE do have a look, and if you like what you see, please share!
Once again this year, we teamed up with my dear friend, documentary film maker Jessica Leski, who directed and edited this film. No words can describe my love for Jess Leski today. She is a STAR. So immensely talented, and so very generous with her time and patience, thankyou SO MUCH Lesk!
Thankyou also to you ALL, dear readers, for your amazing support of this project, for the second year running! SO MANY of you visited Open House this year. (I’m already looking for an even bigger house next time!). Whilst many of you have seen our photos and lots of lovely press coverage, nothing quite beats the moving image to capture the magic and madness of this project! This year, in addition to the usual ramblings from me, the film includes cameos by a couple of lovely local creatives, notably artist Lucas Grogan and artist / stylist Marsha Golemac – major spunks, the both of them.
IF you have trouble viewing the film above, please pop over and view it on VIMEO! At full screen, even. (I know, I know, I look exhausted. Hey, it was a big month!). It goes for 7 minutes.
Thanks also to the EXTREMELY talented local bands who have generously allowed usage of their music for this film. THE MUSIC IN THIS FILM IS SO GOOD! Please show your support by taking a moment to like these brilliant local bands on Facebook – we heart them a LOT.
Edited and directed by Jessica Leski
