Fictional account of the silent film pioneers in Australia, fighting the odds and taking their movies to the outback.

Howard Birnstihl, as an art teacher was one of the pioneers of photography and film studies in Australian high schools. Becoming a fulltime photographer he spent the 70's and 80's specializing in candid sociological studies, winning many awards, his camera always at the ready. With over a million pics on file, he and his wife Gil ran a successful photo library supplying illustration to virtually every publisher in the country. Always a lover of Australian flora and fauna, he later specialized in this area, concentrating on the smaller end of the scale with detailed macro studies. After honing these close-up skills he became one of the country's leading jewellery photographers, and as something of a Renaissance man, has lately turned his hand to writing .
