The Laps Tasmania wins Best Documentary at PAMA 2019

The day before I flew out to Africa, I was up in Paris receiving our award for Best Documentary for The Laps Tasmania at the Paris Art and Movie Awards.

As the universe would have it, it was also the day of the global student climate strikes, and a day when Greta made some of her most powerful statements to date.

I dedicated this award to Greta and all the students out there doing what so many adults are not brave enough to do: push our leaders to take immediate action on climate change.

I believe the reason The Laps is getting so much attention and acclaim this year is that the film is a reminder to all of us that in order to rewild the planet, we need to rewild ourselves. Living simply, in tune with nature and in harmony with all life on Earth is fun and fulfilling, and most importantly, necessary.

The good news is it looks like people out there want to see more Laps. We're working on broadcast deals and funding to make you all a global series.

We don't need a lot to be happy, and as the characters in the film show clearly, helping others and nature are the most fulfilling actions of all.

Best Documentary Nomination - Paris Art and Movie Awards

It is with great excitement to have received news that The Laps Tasmania, directed by Angie Davis with Dustin Hollick, has been nominated for Best Documentary at the Paris Art and Movie Awards. The documentary has now been upgraded to FINALIST, in the top 3 of judging landing it a dedicated screening at the awards, which will also be its European premiere ahead of an intended screening tour of France with Surf Nights later in 2019.

The Laps Tasmania

Synopsis:

How can we consume less? Live our dreams? Meet new friends? Adventure more? And have a bloody good time doing it? 'The Lap of Tasmania' is a documentary, following Dustin Hollick and Rhian Slapp, two ordinary fathers with the survival skills of well-trained house pets, on a two-week journey around Tasmania with not much more than the clothes on their backs. The rules are simple: No cash, no car, no technology and just 10 personal items each. These scruffy surfers from the East Coast of Australia leave home to learn the secrets of a well-balanced life and aim to get back a connection with nature that has been lost with the advent of modern convenience. They re-connect with nature but it is the goodwill and generosity of the quirky humans that inhabit this remote island that make their journey and survival possible.
