The Eye Of God

It was a sunset like no other out in Lyndhurst, South Australia. Thousands of people had come here, from all round the country and all round the world, to experience a total eclipse of the sun. Here's a bush ballad telling the tale... (Awarded "Best Script" at the 3rd Annual Bondi Short Film Festival)

@rupdaddy Ernest Hemingway the writer once hit Orson Welles the narrator with an even better put-down: "Every time he said the word infantry, it was like a cocksucker swallowing." Guess you can't please everyone...

What an amazing blend of film and narration. It held me captive from start to finish..it is an artform at it's spellbinding best! When watching this or any of your videos,it is apparent that you have a special bond with nature and the gifts that are bestowed on the planet.
