Home (2021)

dir. Sam Barnes

A young ex-convict is forced to reconsider his place on the Australian frontier after an unexpected encounter.

While making Home, the entire sound team went out and recorded the score on Taungurung country, in the Cathedral Ranges State Park. Because of this, you can hear the sound of the environment in the music. We collaborated with Taungurung elder Mick Harding who wrote 'Budja’s Song' which plays near the end of the film, and Mona Ruijs, whose gongs infuse the film with deep resonating waves of sound.

More excerpts from this project will be up soon!
