Her Mind, Unwind
Her Mind, Unwind is a western set against the Australian mountains, where a woman fleeing her colonial life finds herself in a bushranging gang about to engage with the police over land disputes.
The film stars Catherine Morvell, who I’ve only worked with for the first time on this film, but by gosh I’d work with again given the right script. She gives the dark mystery behind her character Belle, holding in the fury at times and letting loose when the moment is just right.
Alongside are Gabriel Partington - longtime pal and star of my other shorts ‘Aboard’, ‘Path to Safety’ & ‘Lars in Love’ - who portrays a character scripted as the Poet and is always a treat to see on screen as well as work with on set. He is joined by John McCollough to fill out the three main charters. John was fantastic at holding some important moments in a long dialogue scene.
Overall the film is a puzzle. But, that’s the complex that is Belle’s mind…unwinding…as she flees to the mountains in search of a free conscience.
