Grant Scicluna

Ten years in the making, Grant Scicluna is busy premiering his first feature film at festivals around the world. It’s received high praise, and is set to land in Australian cinemas in 2016.

Down River was written and directed by Grant, and filmed on a shoestring budget over twenty-five days.

This week on The Chat, we discuss Grant’s new film, his love of Australian cinema, and how he managed to stick to one idea for ten years.
