Ty Rigby
- Writer
Ty Rigby begun work as a writer in 2007 contributing essays on the
topics of music and politics to the now defunct Melee Magazine. In
2009, he spent a period working as a historian for an Archaeological
consultancy in Newcastle (Australia). He has commented that he 'liked
the work but wasn't all that keen on Newcastle'. Moving to Melbourne in
2011, Rigby took up writing duties on a monthly comic 'Gincruch'. 'The
Artist' was his first time writing for screen (co-written with director
Joseph Perkins). The short received international recognition,
including best experimental narrative at the Sydney Underground Film
Festival (SUFF). He writes for electronic anarcho-punk band Yellowbird,
whose third release is expected in 2012. Finally, Ty Rigby looks a
little bit like a girl, except that he now has a beard, and so, is
easily identifiable as male.
