- Scrolling through my Insta feed and it's all people I know and then eventually the algorithms stop and it's all just semi-naked men.

Lawrence Johnston’s Latest Buzzes Bright with Neon
It takes a special filmmaker to do what Lawrence Johnston does. There are certainly no Australian documentarians working today that I can think of doing what he does. He takes subjects of such a niche and specialised variety and treats … Continue reading
