Before, during and after making the comedy 'The BBQ', director Stephen Amis and executive producer Tait Brady shot a feature documentary on a rather more serious topic: the long-running campaign to stop Japanese fishermen killing whales in the Southern Ocean.
Stephen Amis’ film examining the long-running campaign to stop Japanese fishermen killing whales in the Southern Ocean was named best international feature documentary at the American Documentary Film Festival.
Gillian Armstrong was 29 when she won the AFI award for best director for her debut feature 'My Brilliant Career', the first local film to be directed by a woman since the McDonagh sisters’ 'Two Minute Silence' in 1933.
