John and my showreel compiled in 1996.

The Wastelands was produced by John at COFA in 1990/91. It is an ode to T.S. Eliot, shot in black and white 16mm. It tells the story of two lonely people reflecting on lost love.

A man reflecting on his father’s life, plans his own funeral. This is John’s HSC film, selected for Art Express and won ATOM, student film festival for best film in 1988.

This degraded video print was originally shot on 16mm film. This print is from analogue video. Am going to remaster this from the original neg. It was my graduating film film from College of Fine Art (UNSW) in 1992.

A homage to “The Enchanter” by Vladimir Nabokov. The story follows the obsession of a 16 year old girl, Katrine. The short film was shot in 1990 on sepia-tone (initially on black and white film).

The 1994 writer, DOP’ed and Directed by James Barahanos equinaut was started in 1991. The story tells the conflict between brothers and a worker as one wants to sell the family farm.

This is an analogue video print.

John and I made this film together. This is an updated version of the 16mm print made in 1993. The film is set in a sanatorium, following the lives of its inmates, desperately seeking a normal life.

My HSC film shot over 1987 and 1988. It was selected for art express. At present only this VHS print is available. I’m intending to re-digitise the 16 mm print.

The film Splendour was completed in 1996 with myself and Clinton Smith. The story is if a man reflecting on his life, realising he has not lived (1996).

Welcome to our film blog. The first film I’m posting is John’s 1998 short film titled “Harvest”. The film follows the story of two friends, Jack and Elliott, who take to the road, following the footsteps of Jack Kerouac‘s “The Road”.

Along the way Jack abandons Elliott, as he follows a journey alone. Decades later, Helen, a fellow traveller units them. The opening and closing sequences in New York were shot by John on a Arri ST.
