Jacaranda Films said...: I made this film as a short film in my film class at TAFE and then from good response from the screening.

I then decided to turn it into a 45 mins Documentary with my fellow film students.

It is selling very well across Australia with over 600 DVDs sales to date and climbing everyday.

What films has your dad made and are they for sale anywhere I am interested to get a hold of them for a look.

Kind regards
