Guest Speaker
Rachael Lucas (Director Bondi Tsunami)
With an underlying interest in music, a sensibility for pop culture, and a background in making no-budget music videos, Rachael has cultivated a popular reputation as a DIY filmmaker with a Japanese bent.
Her major works include two guerrilla rockumentaries Malcolm Hill: Last of the Wild Bohemians (2000), Electra: The Music of Penny Ikinger (2006), and the Japanese surfing road movie Bondi Tsunami (2004).
Since making Bondi Tsunami, Rachael has become an inspirational speaker and advisor to many other fledgling Australian filmmakers. In 2007 she released her first DIY filmmaking book, The Bondi Tsunami Rock n Roll Guide to Guerrilla Filmmaking (2007).
Rachael is currently writing her next two major works: the Japanese rock opera Johnny Rocku and a “Twin Peaks”—inspired TV series “The Crib Point Syndrome”.
