Fat Blossom Productions

Under this insignia I also produce an annual poetry film event called The Projector Project.

Also as a keen theatre practitioner I am producing a show in the 2011 Auckland Fringe, if you're looking for These four Walls page click here:   Lopdell.




Filmography as it stands!



2003
The Eco Show doco.
a digital short promoting the process and qualities of the Eco-show Festival.  15min

2010
Stasis
Documentary and abstract art/sound film. Stasis explores the event of a train journey during which someone is killed on the track. Originally inspired by Von Triers 2001 Documentary dogma, McClean was 'filming for sound' on the day of the unexpected event. The film has a reticent voyeurism made more pertinent by the use of improvised word performance in the soundtrack and the choice subtitling of Dutch and German language.  23min

2010
George Raft Hat, a Chalking
Digital short film.  A documentation of Michele Leggott’s literature class chalking David Mitchell ‘s poem and performing it.  Hosted on the EPC: http://www.nzepc.auckland.ac.nz/


Ayrlies Chapters a DVD for the future of Ayrlies Gardens

In production
The Other End
A feature documentary shot in Central Europe that combine a ‘personal narrative’  with an interview based documenting style, and involves over 40 New Zealand artists and their discourse relating to geography politics culture and war and journeying.



 & in potential pre-production:

Dave Mitchell & the poetry readings of the seventies.

A feature documentary that tells the story of Dave’s role as the MC of the Globe readings and the renegade of the decade.  With recovered footage of the readings circa 79’ / 80’ and contemporary interview from his counterparts at the time, his daughter’s filmmaking process as a poet, focuses on the sound scape of the language in the film.  A merging of forms toward the personal, and the universal.
