A single-shot music video capturing a live shadow-puppetry performance that tells a story symbolic of that told in the song I'LL FORGET YOU.

The 'lovers' in the video are continually brought together and pulled apart by various forces of nature until the man finally concedes to continue living as he had started out - on his own.

AWARD-WINNING FESTIVAL FAVORITE, THIS SHORT HAS SCREENED AT MORE THAN 50 FILM FESTIVALS AROUND THE WORLD

Emma is in her late-twenties, stuck in the corporate rut in the young and modern Australian city of Melbourne. One of innumerable other like suits, each morning Emma endures the monotony of train commuting, hurried walking and dead-eyed waits. She finds refuge only in the urban laneway that brings her to her first latte of the day.

But something in Emma is about to stir. All hope is not lost. Because when Emma connects with the ‘barista’ who prepares her morning coffee, the warm glow of his café promises to spill over and colour Emma’s world. If only Emma can allow it to…

ARIETTA is a 'classical music video' -- scored by Beethoven.


A man strives to paint his perfect self-portrait, believing he can create a single image to encapsulate his whole. But when he chances to glimpse his truth, his quest as he knew it is changed forever.

An ambitious merging of the disciplines of music, painting, cinema, mathematics and philosophy, ARIETTA is a parable that offers a new take on man’s eternal struggle to understand himself.

Natasha Pincus wrote the feature film FELL for director Kasimir Burgess.

FELL premiered In Competition at the Sydney Film Festival and screened at international film festivals before its theatrical release.

FELL can now be viewed here on iTunes:

While on a camping trip, Thomas's only daughter, Lara, is killed by a logging truck in a hit-and-run accident for which the driver, Luke, serves a prison sentence. Stricken with grief, Thomas sheds his urban life and his identity, and moves to the remote town where Lara was killed. There he takes on a new name, Chris, and finds work as a logger. When Luke is released from prison and returns to work, Chris connives to work as his partner in dangerously high tree-logging work. Every time Luke climbs, Chris holds his life in his hands.
