In this episode of the Cinema Australia Podcast I’m joined by The Aegean writer, director and co-producer Jacob Richardson to discuss his sweeping and ambitious new film.  The Aegean follows Hector (Costas Mandylor), a widowed Greek fisherman who feels the weight of his age in a world that has started to forget him. Everything changes when he meets Theodore (Nicky Dune), a resourceful, sharp, and endlessly positive teenager desperately seeking a saviour to rescue him from a dire situation. United by their shared struggles, they embark on a journey on the enchanting Aegean Sea, where they discover a newfound purpose and a reason to carry on.  Jacob Richardson is an Australian filmmaker whose award-winning work has made international headlines. Jacob's first short film, Salt of the Earth - about the Australian inventor of Chicken Salt - premiered at the Adelaide Film Festival. Jacob is also currently has a slate of other feature projects in development. Anyway… enjoy.
