DOCUMENTARY
Kim has made fully funded documentaries for; film festivals, television, the government and the private sector.
Below are a few examples.
The Last Diggers
Documentary (television half hour).
The Last Diggers is about a group of people living on the edge of the outback. The Diggers take a stand when the council tries to outlaw their hobby
of fossicking for relics from the heyday of Broken Hill, in an abandoned dumpsite.
'I met some of the characters involved while I was researching another project. It struck me that their struggles and their love of the past was
a terrific way to tell a story about outback Australia. '
'The Last Diggers' has been a ratings success on SBS and was re-titled as “Trash or Treasure: The collectors of Broken Hill”. It has
since be re-screened a number of times and was a hit at festivals. [ Produced by Lisa Duff and Dan Whitely]

Indigenous Communities Volunteers
1. Making a difference Part 1
2. Getting Down to Business Part 2
'This was an incredible experience, visiting remote indigenous communities from the centre of the desert to the Torres Strait Islands and finding
positive and uplifting stories about the people, their lives and volunteers working on specific projects. We took into account the profound connection
the communities had with their land. We traveled via light planes, boats, up creek beds, by 4wd and hiked to shoot in places which in some cases no
one had ever taken a camera before.'
Kim encourages you to visit the ICV website and volunteer. www.icv.com.au

'We were made to feel like welcome guests in communities that had rarely had a positive thing shown about them.' |

Yowie Men
Festival documentary
‘YOWIE MEN’ is a bizarre collection of interviews and re-enactments about the phenomenon of YOWIES.
'The producer and I were trying to track down rumored Australian footage of a seven foot ape-man filmed at night in a national forest. We soon realized
our interview footage with men who believe they have seen a YOWIE was the real story. We later received a copy of the footage in the mail. It is incredible.
It creates more questions than answers.'
A short version of ‘Yowie Men’ [Produced by Bob B.Hill] is set to be released on the internet later this year.
