Filmed in the mountains of Timor-Leste (East Timor) in January 2006, One Cup at a Time is a portrait of the struggles of coffee farmers in the poorest country of Asia. The film illustrates the benefits Timorese farmers and producers receive through their participation in the international Fair Trade System, whilst highlighting the need for increased awareness of ethical trade support for farmers in developing nations.
Scarab Studio started with the successful implementation and execution of a month long public art intervention in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy. We hung a data projector in a plastic cat box from the eave of an upstairs window and had it spit video art, poetry, photography, illustration and painting onto a giant wall, creating a crack in the suburbs commercial urban fabric.
