Red Earth is an experimental short film directed by the talented visual artist and director Bryce Kraehebuehl with myself as cinematographer.

The film explores an imagined future where a rediscovered archive of photographs, sound and film captures the beauty of several extinct eco-systems within South Australia. Shot on an endangered and no longer produced 16mm film stock called Aerochrome, this experimental film abstracts the eco-systems and landscapes by turning them a crimson red or deep pink.

The film is also overlaid with a rich soundscape of field recordings of bird songs and other environmental sounds that immerse the audience within these unique places. The short premiered in 2023 at the Adelaide Film Festival and is currently undergoing its film festival circuit.
