Brilliant ideas are often two normal ideas smooshed together.
Gigs are cool. Hiking up mountains is cool.
Crash Bandihoot lugged their instruments 6 hours up a mountain to Powell Hut near Wellington. Cam brought his camera gear. The gig was a blast.
And we’re doing it again!

Ange and The Boss tells the improbable story of all-time great Hungarian footballer Ferenc Puskás finding himself in Melbourne in the late 80s, coaching the Greek NSL team South Melbourne Hellas.
Barely able to speak English and comedically overweight, he united and inspired the team to a dramatic championship win in 1991. Eating, drinking, and enjoying himself along the way.
What do musicians do when they make a mistake? Some sage life advice from @ladylindatrousers as we make our way back from Powell Hut in the Tararuas. Linda and @crashbandihootbrass played an amazing gig in a hiking hut last night!
Not long after we finished uni, two of my friends got jobs at Deloitte. One Friday they invited me to “Timesheet Drinks”.
I had no idea about corporate life, and was excited to be included. Once a month the company put on canapés and drinks, invited the whole staff to a colossal function space, and let things flow.
A room full of people like my smart interesting friends? It sounded amazing.
I hated it.
I’m a socially comfortable person, but this room was WEIRD.
Every person I spoke to was either trying to figure out if I was important, telling me how important they were, or looking over my shoulder to see if there was someone important nearby.
Every conversation was garbage.
UGH.
These days I’m in far fewer rooms where someone’s mouth is moving while their eyes scan past me. I work with amazing facilitators who create spaces where that doesn’t happen.
And I try really hard to never be that person myself.
Also, I’m pretty happy with this meme. I went to the Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne this morning for a cheese and spinach borek, and the seagulls were in form.
What’s a loading zone for if not to park your unmarked black Mercedes van and arrange a large selection of decorative ribbon on the Elizabeth Street footpath?
Pleased to announce that @angeandtheboss has it’s national free to air premiere today on @sbs_australia Viceland at 6pm. It’s also up @sbsondemand . Savour the moment @camfink and Rob Heath. Let us know if you enjoyed it.
Our film is on national television!
I’m not sure if 6pm on a Sunday night counts as primetime, but we’ll take it.
Ange & The Boss airs on SBS at 6pm on Sunday 19th April, and on SBS On Demand right now.
We had a great cinema run across Australia last year, peaking at #28 on the national box office charts! I laugh, but for a shoestring project screening in select cinemas, that’s pretty cool.
Stephen Romei gave us a four star review on the same page as he gave Oscar winner Bong Joon-Ho’s Mickey 17 two-and-a-half. Not bad.

It’s a sports documentary, but it’s also a film about life in Australia. It’s about immigrant identity and belonging, gluttonous pasta consumption, and the broken window winder in Ange Postecoglou’s Datsun 200B.
My co-directors Tony Wilson and Rob Heath are super chuffed.
