Nice Shot, No Problem
2015 • 8 mins

Nice Shot, No Problem interweaves scenes from an unnamed narrative film with documentary footage of the crew making the same film. While the crew are in the process of recording foley with the Japanese lead actor – who does not speak any English – the sounds of fiction and the sounds of reality begin to overlap.

An earlier version of this film, made up of only the documentary segments and simply titled Recording Foley, had a one-off screening at The Great Southern Film Co-op in Albany WA around 2008. The original narrative film (titled The Groundskeeper) was a short funded by The Film & Television Institute of WA.
