Yeah, I’m sure that is what you have all
been asking. I must be one of the worst
bloggers on the planet. I always think
about it and tell myself that I must do it, but then life and creating get in
the way and I forget.
So what have I been doing?
LOTS!

| Still from video made for Falling |
Firstly, I did an art collaboration called Falling with
Australian sculpture Annee Miron, Finnish chorographer Favela Vera Ortiz and
Finnish dancer Sanne From.

I haven’t
made any video art before. I’ve made
plenty of experimental films in my early filmmaking days so there were elements
of getting back to my roots, but I’m not sure about this art thing. It seems a lot harder to make a living from
it and I think you need to be even more dedicated to do art here in Australia
than you do filmmaking.

Also, I had a chance to shoot some more
footage for Doing it Her Way.

| Zahra Stardust |
All of Australia’s feminist pornographers
got together for Porno Camp. It was a
great weekend of skill sharing and networking.
I finally got to meet and interview the political Zahra Stardust, and
the very reclusive Ms Naughty. As well as shoot some observational footage of
the weekend.

I
also got to meet Morgana Muse, who won first prize at the Joy awards last year. I’m hoping to do an interview with her in the
near future. She generously let me shoot
behind the scenes on her new film “New Tricks” which was great and made me miss
making erotic films, but hopefully we will be collaborating on a project in the
near future!
Finally, this Saturday 1st June
at 11am “Making it Handmade” will be
playing at the Hawkesbury Regional Gallery.
I’ll be there for chats and craft afterwards, so if you are anywhere
near come and say Hello!
