Australian personal production short.
Mozjoukine26 February 2012
Pleasant enough little production - the villainous mud puddle that swallows the younger Ansara's flower is a particularly nice touch. The fiddle playing country girl sets up among the buskers in the Sydney Central Railway pedestrian tunnel. Her woes include more glamorous cellist Joy, who takes all her business and hovering station security man Barry.

The up beat climax is welcome if predictable. The writer-director swears she saw it actually happen.

Video production achieves a presentable standard, involving local heavyweights Tom (Journey Among Women, Winter of Our Dreams) Cowan on camera and a score by Jan Preston (Skin Deep).

Before Tropfest, one of these would have been an event.
