Interviews

...John Davis - I had done Behind Enemy Lines with him - it was his gig really. He's a fellow airplane nut and while we were making ‘Behind Enemy Lines' he kept slipping this under the door saying “Are you sure you don't want to do this next?” (laughs) and I kind of resisted it for a while thinking ‘oh fuck! Don't tell me you want to do another fucking airplane crash movie' (laughs) but the story's just so damn good and I love all those Robinson Crusoe/Castaway/MacGyver ‘How are we going to wring the last drop of coconut juice out of this' kind of movies and I really do enjoy survival pictures.

CHÉ BAKER INTERVIEW

Having worked in and around Film & TV sets for almost twenty years, UK-born and Australian-raised Ché Baker is a multi-hyphenate in the truest sense. He's an author, screenwriter, producer and director though ultimately, he's a storyteller at heart. His time served on various productions was an accumulative learning experience for him, serving him well in his own transition to directing feature films. His exposure to the facility established by Filmmaker Peter Jackson at Stone Street Studios in Wellington, while working on The Hobbit and The Adventures of Tintin, spurred him on to replicate the business model in his adopted home town of Canberra. I sat down with Ché to discuss film: making it, watching it and his journey to being an Author and feature film Director.
