Glass Portrait

When Phil and I went the ADG last year we watched a screening of Scott Hicks new film, Glass, a portrait of Phillip in 12 parts.

It was quite a moving film, one of the best- if not the best documentary I had seen in YEARS! And I have been watching a lot of doco's of the past while. It was really interesting to hear from Scott, how he felt cast back to his early days of indie film making when making this film as he started with no real budget and some consumer video cameras. Kind of inspiring really, as Phil and I were just in the thick of producing Into the Shadows.

Well the film is about to come out in limited release around Australia. Its crazy to think that these days such a crafted film about an amazing composer can struggle to get screens, but that's a discussion for another day. What this film is also a good example of is a good website. Its easy to access, and even has clips for your i-phone.

Check it out, if you want an insight into a genius mind you won't be disappointed.
