Port Adelaide - Things Unseen

Over the past few years, I’ve been keeping my creative experiences private a bit. But, after developing my skill set, I think it’s probably time to share my recent works with video as a medium.

In 2023, I worked on a short series of interview stories based in Port Adelaide. Things Unseen is about the characters that make a neighborhood great, the personalities that come to define how an area is received and what they bring to their communities.

Overarching campaign piece.

Sometimes they are obvious, running a public class or showing you around the exhibit of a museum. Sometimes it’s behind closed doors, in the back of a kitchen, or sitting in a dimly lit gallery space working away at the latest piece.

Like all port towns, there’s a bit of nostalgia floating around, building a natural sense of charm. What I love about Port Adelaide is that there’s just enough going on to make it feel productive, but not too much that it’s hard to see what’s important.

I’d like to introduce some characters that felt important to me. Very different people, all bringing life to a sometimes understated community.

Phil Donnelly - The Baker - Pastry master, former rockabilly and self accredited inventor of the cheeseburger pie. Having a yarn at the Mayfair Bakery.

Thomas Readett - The Muralist fierce First Nations artist with incredible can control. Works can be found in gallery spaces and on city streets around South Australia.

Kylie Macey - The Historian with a full sleeve of tattoos and a penchant for South Australia’s past. Guiding you at the South Australian Maritime Museum.

Eleanor Scicchitano - The Curator brining the arts community together and cracking a smile the entire time. Residing at the Post Office Projects.

Dr. Allison French - The Instructor - Here to fix your back and your mind at Dock Studios.

The crew I worked with was lean but mighty. Timothea Moylan helped me produce the series, Josh Trezise acted as our key videographer and DOP, and the City of Port Adelaide Enfield funded the series. Insider Studios, the creative team I direct, was the central production house for the piece.
