Jack Byrnes is a Melbourne director and creative visiting CinefestOz with his insanely brilliant action packed short film, “Unstoppable.” The first ever Australian action flick with the leading man kicking ass and taking names in a wheelchair. Jack and Joel sit down to discuss the creation process of wanting to create an unknown entity in the action genre, a chair bound action hero who not only crushes the bad guy but takes the audience on an action epic in the ilk of bad asses gone by. “Die Hard,” “John Wick” and “Upgrade” all came to mind while watching the breath stealing sequences and there’s far more potential where that came from. Jack and Joel go on to discuss the ambition needed and practicality necessary to deliver on a bold idea while discussing authenticity, heart and collaboration in the creative process.Hosted and Produced by Joel JacksonStarring Jack ByrnesRecorded at CinefestOZ 2024CinefestOZ is supported by Supported by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries through funding from the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development.
