    Better than you think

    Murray Fredericks has caught onto something lost. This short film was great. It was more of an artistic perspective, both photographic and cinematographic, of extreme conditions. It felt more like soul searching than adventures, but that is OK. It felt genuinely...human. I was surprised to find how moving this was. His technical know how and expertise made the difference. Staring down the lens of his cameras I am sure only caught a glimpse of the overwhelming feelings associated with them in first-person, but wow. That was very, very interesting. A unique struggle with the human and the void. The photography was amazing. I wish to thank you personally.

    Surprisingly enjoyable

    I had no idea what I was going to see, so a photographer's journey towards the centre of Lake Eyre in Australia wasn't what I expected.

    However, the film has a good narrative, and enough time-lapses of the night/day sky to satisfy many of my wanderlust dreams.

    It was interesting to see various items of (undoubtedly expensive) modern photographic paraphernalia being deployed around the camp site, as well as the surreal plaque like surface of the lake with white crystalline salt forced up between the edges of the (slightly darker) horizontal salt plaques.

    The pay-off of the entire film are the images that were produced in this expedition (and a couple of others) - breathtakingly good.

    All things considered, an uplifting documentary!

    Beautiful movie

    I thought this movie was absolutely incredible. It was a movie I had no expectation for, I thought it might be interesting in the least. It was so much more. The first thing and the major thing for me was a combination of both the cinematography and the photography. Take some incredible work on a camera, and then twist it in with this battler's life story, and you get quite a hectic movie.

    The acting is real, it is a documentary, everything that happens, happens. Our friend takes us on a journey through his life. Amazing.

    I almost feel a bit weird writing this, but in addition, the directors review available on the DVD when purchased is actually well worth the $$. The director and producer talk non-stop about the complexities of the film and how it was shot. Some of the insights they have I have never heard explained. Great stuff!
