SYDNEY 2000

five people living within the centre of a city, whose lives never touch.

The film was commissioned by SBS Television as part of a series of 30 min films by new documentary filmmakers. Each project bore the name and the postcode/zipcode of the community it documents. 

It features diverse characters, from a family who've lived in the oldest part of Sydney for generations, to recent immigrants from Asia and from war-torn Bosnia, and a successful British creative director, all of whom live in the same small geographical area but whose lives are unknown to each other.
