FROM A GREEN HOUSE TO THE BIG APPLE
Independent short film producer, Rohan Gale, tells how a homespun yarn made it all the way to the top on wind and solar power

For me, work begins by turning on the inverter to supply power. Our power is made by the sun and the wind. It’s called a hybrid system and stored in batteries. I designed and built it myself.
The edit suites are fired up, and while the sun’s shining, its independent production central.
This year a short film called Alone in the Fog created by my production company screened at the prestigious New York International Independent Film and Video Festival. It was produced on a budget of less than $1,000 and used only solar and wind power. How it all started, well it’s a story of following your heart.

I’ve been working in the industry on and off for about 12 years, mostly getting bits and pieces as a performer. But it was when I was cast as Orlando Bloom’s body double that I got my first real chance to learn about film-making, as strange as that may sound. I accumulated more than 1,000 hours of set time and invaluable insight into how feature films get made. The earnings from this production also enabled me to move my family into a home that I designed and hand nailed on 23 acres in central Victoria, which would

go on to house the sustainable studios for my production company, Midnight Chair Productions. The chance to create Alone in the Fog, my first short film, came about in 2006. I was presented with the opportunity and just went for it. The first thing I did was call a friend of

mine, the writer Glen Pendlebury. We each had an unfinished concept. So basically we mashed them together and created a twisted little art-house thriller; a metaphor for mental health, sugar addiction and sibling rivalry in modern society. We wanted on the map, so we got freaky. The script and story board was smashed out in a week by Glen and my wife Fiona. It took a month of Sundays (and a couple of Saturdays!) to put it together; Glen and I directing and recruiting anyone willing and able to operate the sound boom. The film premiered in Melbourne and received great reviews, so an email was sent to the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival with a plot summary. We didn’t hear a thing for about eight months, and had already

moved on to producing another short when out of the blue I received a call from New York expressing interest and requesting a copy of the film so their selection panel could view it. We ended up being selected for both the festival’s New York and Los Angeles events. That was incredibly exciting for us, those moment make it all worthwhile. Some parts can be incredibly frustrating. We didn’t even make it to New York to see our film screen because we couldn’t secure the sponsorship. We are still hoping to make it to the LA screening later this month, but the search for sponsorship continues. Some days, even when our work is getting recognised overseas and in Oz, I feel like

giving up, getting a day job that feeds the kids and pays the mortgage, but my love for art and creation won’t let me. These days we find ourselves in production again, following what we feel is a very important community project. I can’t say too much about it yet but it will showcase some sensitive aspects of Australia’s culture. With appropriate sponsors and or investors we endeavour to continue this level of sustainable independent production in the true sense of the word, developing it into the future and beyond.
