We did a thing... I feel very lucky to have had the support from an exceptionally talented crew. I'm so happy with the rushes - the DP Jason was committed from the get go and he has such an eye to foresee lighting requirements, which really crafted this. I couldn't have done this without the dedication and enthusiasm from all crew, who really understood what I was setting out to do (I think?). I was so lucky to have a cast consisting of non-actors and actors, but all bringing such a willing attitude and perfect performances. This doesn't happen alone so thank you to everyone. This won't take long to edit, and then we have quite a bit of sound design to do! #inflatablerabbit #bunnyfucker #dysplace #shortfilm #brisbane

I don’t think that people generally realise what motion picture industry has done to the American Indian, as a matter of fact, all ethnic groups, all minorities, all non-whites. And people just simply don’t realise, just take it for granted that that’s the way people are going to be presented and these clichés are just, I mean on this network every night, well perhaps not every night, but you can see silly renditions of human behaviour, the leering Filipino houseboy, the wily Japanese, the kook or the gook, black man, stupid Indian. It just goes on and on and on. And people actually don’t realise how deeply people are injured by seeing themselves represented, not so much the adults, who are already inured to that kind of pain and pressure, but children. Indian children seeing Indians represented as savage, as ugly, as nasty, vicious, treacherous, drunken. They grow up only with a negative image of themselves and it lasts a lifetime.
