I have been busy the last few months capturing many more hours of my footage taken so far for the documentary 'Vali The Fox: A film on Vali Myers' which is my current major project...although it will remain 'current' for several more months as it grows into a much larger idea than first envisioned (the story with most of my films).I have also traveled to New York to conduct some further research and explore Vali's creative hub at The Chelsea Hotel where she spent many years, over time, in transit from her much loved valley in Positano, Italy. I have also been busy continuing to meet the endless number of fascinating people that enjoyed moments in time with Vali throughout the world.
This is a trailer for the upcoming documentary 'Vali The Fox: A Film on Vali Myers'. Leonard Leong and I filmed much of this documentary over many months of late 2010 and I am currently working on editing a 15 min version for festivals and funding opportunities. I will be developing a 3 part TV series and a feature length project out of my research and provisional footage.
Vali Myers was an exceptional person who has inspired me greatly. Her way of life, her exquisite artwork, her friendships, her time in Paris and New York dancing and drawing, her 40 years in the valley of Positano, Italy with her lover and her wild animals and her last years spent in her beloved studio in the Nicholas Building, Melbourne are all fascinating times in the love and life of Vali. Check out my website for further information on the final short version and its travels.
