Having discovered archival evidence of Banjo’s 1949 walk-off, I’ve decided to re-create this significant historical event using animation. In the style of animation by Israeli film director Ari Folman in his powerful animated portrayal of the horrors of the 1982 Lebanon war, “Waltz With Bashir”, I’ll be working with Adelaide animation studio Monkeystack to recreate the 1949 walk off at the Lake Nash Cattle Station. This piece of animation will be incorporated into a new teaser trailer to be used to pitch the project to broadcasters. I’ll be doing this at the Australian International Documentary Conference in Adelaide in Feb, 2012.
I’m now looking to raise $15,000 to cover the costs of animation for this stage of development. Remember, donations are tax deductible through the Documentary Australia Foundation. For more information on making a donation to help with this stage of the project, please email me.
