Filmmaker Q&A with Director James Ivor, Benjamin Ballette (DOP) and Gary Brun – STORM BIRD is a character driven comedy-drama that follows Richard Hollingsworth, a once-revered classical musician, now reclusive nihilist, living out his final months in tropical North Queensland. When Jack, a crass, working-class neighbour facing jail time, saves him from a sudden heart attack, their lives unexpectedly intertwine. Together with Carla, a sharp New York author documenting Richard’s life, the three unlikely companions spend a transformative weekend together, journeying deep into the rainforest and forging unexpected bonds across social divides, whilst confronting the sobering reality that each of their lives is about to change drastically.
