Opal Fever, directed by @lucyvknox

A portrait of life in Australia’s remote opal mining towns, isolated outback communities built on the hope that something precious lies beneath a barren surface.

„I’m interested in how, as humans, we all seemingly share an obsession with beauty - whether that’s in rocks under the surface of the ground or in makeup tutorials. Like magpies, we are drawn to what glimmers - constantly digging, carving into the earth and into ourselves. Here, beauty has its own logic, even when it appears to have none at all.” – Lucy Knox

New from Trust: Opal Fever, directed by @lucyvknox

A portrait of life in Australia’s remote opal mining towns—isolated outback communities built on the hope that something precious lies beneath a barren surface.

Set in Kupa Piti (Coober Pedy) and Andamooka, the film follows people drawn to the edges of the outback by obsession. In places shaped by heat, distance, and time, some come searching for opal—and sometimes never leave.

“Opal exists purely as objects of beauty - and yet for over a century, it has lured people into one of the harshest environments on Earth.” —Lucy Knox

"People type things on apps that they would never actually say in person. So taking that extreme digital confidence and dropping it into a real-life conversation created immediate awkwardness."

Filmmaker @levekuhl contrasts the love story you tell your parents with the one that actually happened in his @grindr ad 'Peas', a film that embraces the gloriously messy truth of queer dating over a picture-perfect meet-cute.

"People type things on apps that they would never actually say in person. So taking that extreme digital confidence and dropping it into a real-life conversation created immediate awkwardness."

Filmmaker @levekuhl contrasts the love story you tell your parents with the one that actually happened in his @grindr ad 'Peas', a film that embraces the gloriously messy truth of queer dating over a picture-perfect meet-cute.

Watch 'Peas' & read our interview with Leve over on DN ⏯️

“There’s always a distance between us and stories like this - we read about them, see them in the news, but they remain other. With POV, we take away that distance.”

@levekuhl explains the importance of readjusting our perspective on those affected by displacement in his deeply moving UNHCR (@refugees) campaign short ‘Through My Eyes’, which immerses audiences in an immigrant's visceral escape to safety.

We went right onto the hockey rink and with our operator’s ice skating skills, captured the action handheld. Additionally, we rigged a small camera to a hockey stick for a visceral, first-person perspective.” - Jona Riese, cinematographer
