PORTFOLIO
Director
UNCLE (2024)
UNCLE is a short documentary about the extraordinary life of Uncle Jason Coombes.
Growing up Aboriginal in an Anglo-Australian family in the 70s, Uncle Jason’s coming-of-age was a clash of families, cultures and identities—black, white and gay. UNCLE celebrates resilience, LGBTQIA+ pride and what it means to walk one’s own path through the nuanced perspective of one indefinable man.
Weaving home from the desert sands of Far North Queensland to Victoria’s deep south-eastern Bung Yarnda country, Uncle’s story coincides with World Pride, a Referendum and a goodbye. Cinematically luscious, tonal and embracing a juxtaposition between observational storytelling with the heightened world of drag performance in extremis, UNCLE arrives at an “imaginative truth”. Offering lessons in living boldly and with self-compassion to us all, this is a film for audiences ready for an uplifting take on the healing power to self-determine one’s own path.
