** News From Bundanon
Standing There Productions is now entering the final week of our artists' residency at Yvonne and Arthur Boyd's Bundanon property on the Shoalhaven river in New South Wales. Yvonne and Arthur Boyd “gifted” this property to the Australian people in 1993 to protect and preserve it and to provide Australians with access to the beautiful grounds. Artists in residence are given working and living quarters, access to Arthur Boyd's studio, to the Boyd's residential estate, and the extensive Boyd art collection.
This is the Standing There Productions Compound (with kangaroos). Lorin and Stewart's studios are in the barn-like building in the foreground.

We have been working on several projects while at Bundanon, some of which were planned and some of which have germinated here. Stewart has been working on timelapse photography such as the video, below. Lorin has written some short video scripts, which we hope to put up on the website soon. Check the diary for updates.
In our final week here, we will be shooting some short videos and getting together to discuss where these projects will go next. The three of us, together, at the same time, in the same location. A Bundanon miracle.
*** Rita's USA Trip
Standing There producer Rita Walsh joined Lorin and Stewart at the Bundanon Artists' Residency on Sunday evening, at the end of the 2nd week of the residency, with one week left.
For those first two weeks, Rita was in the United States, where Hugo, the short film she produced last year with Thaumatrope Productions, screened at the Rhode Island International Film Festival and the Palm Springs International Shortfest. Hugo was a huge success, winning the Grand Prize for Fantasy at Rhode Island, as well as an AWGIE award for writer Rachel Bowen back in Australia. It has also been selected for the Chicago International Children's Festival later this year. Rita met with producers and filmmakers from all over the world in New York, Palm Springs, Rhode Island and LA. She then flew to Melbourne and drove to Bundanon. After Bundanon she is moving to Sydney to continue her Producers' Attachment with producer Jan Chapman. Congratulations Rita and the Hugo team for an amazing US trip.

Lastly, just to prove we're in the middle of the Australian countryside, here is some timelapse photography of the wombat who lives outside out studio. For more of Stew's great timelapse videos and for photos and short videos about our time at Bundanon, go to the Diary page.
Thanks again for your support of Standing There Productions. Please let us know if you have any shows coming up or projects you're working on that you would like mentioned on our website.
All the best,
Standing There Productions
