Hello All

I'm sure this comes as no surprise: due to the Coronavirus, we have had to postpone this event ("an evening honouring Aboriginal Diggers: short film screening, discussion and performance by John Paul Young OAM and friends").

It will no longer be happening on 23 April :'(

It's unfortunate but our reality. Hope prevails. Still have exciting things in the works! Watch this space!! Adapting to the circumstances and ploughing ahead - will never abandon this important project of honouring Aboriginal Diggers! Updates to come! ;)

Thank you to all who had already registered for this event - it's "postponed" NOT "cancelled". Planning to reschedule once safe to do so, however long that will be.

Much love to all! Stay safe, clean and healthy ###

Today is Reconciliation Day - marking the start of National Reconciliation Week. It is held on the first Monday after or on 27 May, the anniversary of the 1967 referendum. 52 years today!! It’s a public holiday in the Australian Capital Territory - why not the rest of Oz? I still can’t believe we don’t have ANY nation-wide public holidays centred on acknowledging / respecting the oldest continuous culture on the planet. ANYWAY! Taking this opportunity to again share the link to my Go Fund Me campaign for my documentary honouring Aboriginal Diggers, together with a little montage of some of my favourite snaps from my music video launch on at in - SO awesome getting to work with Aussie music legends including John Paul Young and Uncle Les Beckett!

Looking forward to screening my film honouring Aboriginal servicemen at tomorrow’s in for the centenary of our first peacetime Day

Screening starts at 11am at the Redfern Community Centre tomorrow. See you there. X

The telegram was sent to Col Watego's grandmother in 1942. His uncle Vince Watego had been killed at El Almein, the Western Desert campaign during the Second World War.

Editing to a beat! I made this short promotional film for the 'Skateworks Project' back in 2013. The 'Skateworks Project' is an initiative aimed at developing educational facilities for street children in Ethiopia and encouraging school attendance through the motivational aspects of skateboarding. This clip follows a group of awesome skaters on a marathon skate across Ethiopia to raise awareness about the initiative.

Featuring music by Michael D Ellison - an Ethiopian born American hip hop artist well known for his slam poetry and his involvement with the Detroit Concert of Colors annual event. His music was used by the Barack Obama presidential campaign too... Woo!!

In 2013 this clip was shown at the annual Australian International Education Conference (AIEC), the largest conference of its kind in the Asia-Pacific region.

In 2012 I was part of the crew that documented ‘Spirit of the Warriors'... A film about an Aboriginal soldier (Private Frank Archibald) who was killed on the Kokoda Track, and his family's quest to bring his spirit back to Country. From Papua New Guinea to Armidale, this expedition was led by Uncle Richard Archibald (2014 NAIDOC Elder of the Year). View the trailer for the documentary here: http://vimeo.com/55700441

As we approach Remembrance Day... There's many Lest We Forgets to say and overdue acknowledgements to pay. ‘Spirit of the Warriors' can be purchased from the Illawarra Aboriginal Corporation. Proceeds help Uncle Richard take this story around Australia to raise awareness about the contributions made by Aboriginal servicemen and women to Australia's defence.

I'm currently working on another project about an Aboriginal soldier called Private Harold West who was the inspiration behind the poem 'The Coloured Digger' and the annual Coloured Diggers March in Redfern... Details to come! Stay tuned!!!

'Spirit of The Warriors' tells the story of how the Archibald family brought home the spirit of their relative - an Aboriginal man and a warrior of war. Private…

Check out my quirky lil edit about K**a the Surfing Pig!! He's a REAL wave hog!! 🌊🐗

I met K**a the Surfing Pig the same day my first fully self produced film premiered. The film was 'Connected by Sea', a 'Baby PIG Productions' documentary centred on surfing!

Needless to say - I was pretty stoked to meet a sweet surfing pig that day... and am delighted to reminisce that the screening that night was pure bliss!! Open air premiere on the shores of Waikiki... Full moon, clear sky and the vast peaceful sea... Exactly one year ago today in Hawaii :)

It was so cool watching Freshie projected on the big screen on the shores of Waikiki... facing the Pacific Ocean that connects the two 'sister cities'!

Stay tuned for details re 'Connected by Sea' screenings to come! But for now... enjoy K**a the Surfing Pig having "fun fun fun" in the "sun sun sun"!

Shot and edited in the palm of my hand under a palm tree in the sand... iPhone6sPlus baby!! SO grand!! Featuring awesome music by my talented buddy Jesse Owens and K**a's owner Kai ;)

Welcome to my Baby Pig Productions page!

👶🐷📽

It's very much a baby at this stage but there's more to come (including a clip about a surfing pig & updates re projects I'm working on - fun)!

But as this day is Duke Kahanamoku's birthday (in Hawaii) I thought it best to share my tribute to him & his legacy; extracted from my documentary 'Connected by Sea' (CbS) - celebrating The Pacific, Indigenous cultures and surf history.

The full film will soon be available for all to see - watch this space for when / where it will be screened publicly!

Special thanks to legendary surf filmmaker Jack McCoy for mentoring me and to these awesome musicians for providing the CbS soundtrack: Ziggy McNeill, Jesse Owens & Larissa McKay!

Massive thanks to ALL involved - much love and Aloha sent your way... & to Duke: Happy Birthday!! X
