In the Land of Fish and Honey
November 2nd 2025
Feature
Dir. John Ledingham and JP Meldrum
DIY Theatre
John and I’s first fictional feature together - hot off the heels of his debut solo feature Search for Gold (which I happened to be in as well!). Its about a wordless man searching Victoria far-and-wide for fish and honey - based on a reoccuring dream. I grew a ridiculous beard for it. Its an ‘indie drama’, an ‘atmospheric diy’ film, and a 'regional horror’ joint all wrapped into one. I started this movie two times over, and I’m so happy we got it across the finish line. Special thanks to Motern Media for the gas to get it done.
The Promised End
December 3rd 2024
Feature
Dir. John Ledingham and JP Meldrum
Theatre / DVD / YouTube
A film documenting my radio DJ life and preparation for a live performance of a show with Maxwell Paterson. Part concert film, part doc, part farce. A celebration and, maybe, a vanity project, cherishing a decade of a vernacularly creative life. Shot on DSLRs and iPhones. It came together as a feature on accident and on the fly. On December 4th 2024, I rented out the Cinecenta to debut it along with Matt Farley’s seminal Local Legends as a DIY movies-about-struggling-with-intuitionally-unvalidated creativity double feature. I made twenty or so DVDs, but there all gone. Might do a Search for Gold / Promised End extended cut blu-ray down the road.
No Bummer Summer
2018
Medium Film
Dir. Sean Rea, Vincent Crawford, and JP Meldrum
YouTube
A film about having a no bummer summer. Documented over the summer of 2017. Part doc, part fiction. Edited by me, shot by everyone, conceived by Vinnie and I, frame deviced by Sean Rea, and starring a gaggle of the boys. Shot on a handheld DV camera I got for my eleveth birthday. A time capsule and tribute to male comradery and youthfulness.
