David Stratton - A Cinematic Life

A theatrical release feature length documentary distributed by Transmission Films, "A Cinematic Life" charts the history of Australia’s films and its stars from the point of view of its most revered film critic, David Stratton.

Weaving through this fascinating story, is David’s very personal journey, from a childhood obsession with cinema, his journey to Australia from England as a ‘Ten Pound Pom’, to becoming an internationally renowned film critic.  With interviews from artists such as George Miller, Geoffrey Rush & Nicole Kidman, at the heart of the film is the story of an industry whose growing pains David has witnessed over a lifetime.  I shot this project for Director Sally Aitkin with an ARRI Alexa & Cooke S4/i Primes, watch the trailer below.
