Today’s #vimeostaffpick, ‘Strange Beasts’ by director @dancy_predatorghast and @oh_yeah_wow , explores the mysteries and risks of a dangerous Australian lion & tiger park, as told through the eyes his father, a long-time big cat keeper. A compelling, dark story, enhanced by a variety of treatments and visuals.

Well, it’s official.
After nearly 5 years in the make, my short doco, Strange Beasts is out of its cage and out into the world.
It’s a film that explores the meteoric rise & fall of the Bacchus Marsh Lion Safari, as told through the eyes of my father, a 17 year old big cat keeper at the time.
To kick off it’s run, it’s been selected for two Oscar qualifying film festivals— including the largest documentary festival in the US, the juggernaut that is #DOCNYC
It’s a festival we pinned out most unrealistic of hopes on and to land a selection, justifies the large amounts of time so many talented talented folk gave to the project. We’re beyond humbled.
Anyway. Melbourne, you’ll unfortunately have to hold out for a while before it hits the Australian festival circuit but NYC friends, it’s your time to get on down.
Endless thanks to all who contributed, shared & dug under their beds for ancient 16mm.

In what is an early contender for our weirdest job of 2022, OYW was approached by @mischiefusa to create a cast of animated pubes, to convince people to shave their real ones off, then pop ‘em in the post to prevent soil erosion.
Please enjoy this odd concept that I was paid real world money to create 🤣
Produced by the legends at @wearefleshandbones
