Going beyond the media blockade of the 2018 Mount Canobolas and 2019-20 Black Summer mega-fires first-hand, Samuel Rodwell's 'Inferno' captures the volunteer firefighters who fought against all odds to protect their communities from total annihilation.
Brietta Hague's 'Baltasar' continues to impress on the short film circuit, named Best Short Film at this year's St Kilda Film Festival Awards.
For emerging director Samuel Rodwell, the transition from commercial work to films didn't happen overnight: it took more than three years, during which time he captured one of Australia's worst natural disasters in living memory.
Director and co-writer Katherine Chediak Putnam has finished shooting the horror short 'Inferno' and is now developing the project as a feature with Shayne Armstrong as script mentor.
