Defiance, rewarded. 
for Tourism Tasmania

Co-directed with cinematographer Joshua Lamont. This piece was a film and photographic stills project, created for promotion of the Tasmanian wine industry, and how our geographical position and our island mentality, creates some of the most unique wines on earth.

Growing grapes in Tasmania was considered a risky endeavor. Advised against by officials. They thought you couldn’t grow grapes here. But a few growers and wine-makers tried, defying the odds. And today, they’re reaping the rewards.

It’s the resilience of the grower, and the mercy of Tasmania’s landscape to protect, define, and birth a unique product. There is an innate quality to Tasmanian wine that is defined by the growers and wine-makers who defy the odds. There is risk - and reward - at the edge of the world.
