BRING HER BACK. Official Poster! May 30th Worldwide Release. From the wild and wonderful brains of @therackaracka @michael_philippou @causeway_films @a24

Exposure. Stan 6 part series. . . . I can’t express how grateful I am to have worked with such a powerhouse creative team. Lead so compassionately by @bonniemoir . It’s rare to find creative individuals who challenge and elevate your work while still finding time to make you laugh, even to tears. I give endless credit to Bonnie for working tirelessly to craft and build the world with her relentless focus and work ethic. She is a gem and someone who I can almost guarantee to be one of the biggest talents to come out of Australia, there I said it. But it’s all nothing without the support of our fearless producer @thisisnic . She was the architect of building this team and she never let go of supporting the vision. It’s hard to do bold work in the lower budget television space but she gave us the opportunity to push and build our world no questions asked. She truly was a boss lady and will dominate a dance floor given the opportunity. Again, the end result is only as good as the sum of the parts and no words can express the incredible efforts from @marnikorn our production designer. Marni found the palate and opened up the world for us to push the vision further. I always say cinematography is only as good as the production design it works within. Marni killed it. Anyway, there are too many people to thank but these few needed a mention.

An incredible journey, with what I consider a family now. Official Poster Talk To Me (2023) July 28th . . . @causeway_films @a24 @therackaracka @racka_ashes @talktomemovie @sophiewildee @bethsryan
