Alex Campbell

The existing documentary makers still believe that it is impossible to produce drama material in this State, otherwise they would be doing it, they say.
Ann Macbeth

I also paint, draw and I'm into film and photography as well, and the same thing applies to all of them. You're presenting this material to the general public and hoping that they're going to 'get' what you're doing. Some don't, some do.
Paul Kane

So, immediately after that, I got a commission to write a piece for chamber orchestra, and in working on the material I discovered it was possible to incorporate the Buddhist teachings into the music, so that's what I started to do.
