21.01.2022 Awesome trailer! Showcasing some powerful cinema

18.01.2022 I went on a little adventure around our beautiful state to capture ‘A Limitless Tomorrow' feat. Selfless Orchestra, Directed by Steven Alyian Usurper of Modern Medicine Shot on #panasoniclumixgh5, #Sigma Art 18-35mm, #canon L Series 70-200mm, #djiphantom4pro. Some words from Steve...... Commissioned by Senator Jordon Steele-John as part of the Art of a Green New Deal initiative. I took lyrics from a song I had written but not yet recorded and had them read out over music by the orchestra, taking members of the group across WA to connect with different environmental groups and activists to show the powerful conscious people we have in our community. Thanks to Madeleine Antoine, Miranda Murray-Yong and Nikki Dagostino from Selfless for taking part in the video. Cinematographer Ben Berkhout for capturing such wonderful images and to Priya Amy Leevers for helping us with the production. Thanks to David Le May ACS for lending the drone. The video features: Activate the Wheatbelt's work in Gabbin, Western Australia - thanks to Ros Huxley who showed us the beautiful grove in honour of her late husband. South West Forest Defenders (WA Forest Alliance) the community who stopped the logging in Dalgarup, Western Australia earlier this year. Huge gratitude to Nancy Jones for helping organise and the other wonderful humans featured in this video: Jeff Pow, Sally Stoneman, Carol Muir, @david sims, Rod Herbert and Mark Oliver. Tending The Tracks Alliance's work in Wanagarren Nature Reserve, Western Australia. Thanks to Alison Goundrey.

17.01.2022 Totally blown away being included in the AACTA Short of the Decade awards.... well done team Yulubidyi - Until The End!!!

07.01.2022 More from our great review from Everything Is Noise.... "The soundscape that is crafted across the song is as lush and vibrant as the landscapes that are being portrayed across the video. That’s not the only point where the song and the video synchronize though. The breadth of the music is entirely synonymous with the vast expanses of land that are captured adroitly in the shots. In a similar fashion, the members being split throughout the land on various types of terrain, underlines how they are all substantially different yet part of a greater whole just as the lands themselves" - Robert Miklos.
