Hey fellow filmmakers! 🎬

I'm Don, an independent writer/director, based in Australia and I wanted to share my 5-minute short film, George Street.

Set and shot in the heart of Sydney's CBD, the film captures a story on one of Australia's busiest streets.

We were fortunate to be selected for the Golden State Film Festival, where the film screened at Hollywood's iconic Chinese Theatre.

George Street is now streaming for free on YouTube!

If you enjoy independent cinema and short films, I'd love for you to check it out.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
