the talented team at kalliope pictures have produced an exquisite film featuring our petals on the wind range. made soon after relocating to tasmania after a long stint making films in the U.S.

the film was their way to reconnect with australia, with a beautiful new baby in tow, keep grounded in making and establish a new family of creatives back home.

director michael hili has long felt an affinity with romance was born, inspired by anna and luke’s ability to explore the possibilities of craft and play in fashion. he describes the petals on the wind collection and the film as: “a complex and vulnerable response to the beauty of flowers. at one moment dancing with hazy ethereal beauty before shapeshifting into nocturnal rituals, potentially poisonous and deeply secretive. I wanted to make a film that felt like a curious kid looking in on that world. speculative and impressionistic, stitched together from memory.”
