They're making a film out of Bran Nue Dae?!! Cool... and with Geoffrey Rush (and Ernie Dingo)? Even better!! And with a kombi???!! It is definitely a must-see!!!! _________________ ....Woz
"For years Jimmy Chi has been creating BRAN NUE DAE. It is the combination of his own experiences, his views of the world and the pooled talents of his friends who make up the Broome band Kuckles.
BRAN NUE DAE: THE MUSICAL is a story of an Aboriginal boy's flight home from the city of Perth to his homeland at Djaridjin (known to Europeans as Lombadina). His journey in search of identity, love and security takes us across the state in a blend of rock opera, road movie, comedy, song, dance and romance. The music derives from sources as disparate as traditional Aboriginal performance, blues, rock 'n' roll, Hollywood musicals and the rituals of the Roman Catholic Mass.
The film is structured around two main themes: the production of the musical and the life of Jimmy Chi. Both elements are interwoven with key participants, players in Jimmy's life and archival footage.
Jimmy grew up in Broome, a town in the remote north of Western Australia. He is part of a culturally diverse community which results from Broome's history as a thriving Pearling town. Jimmy was sent to a Catholic mission in Perth to complete his secondary schooling and from which he was eventually expelled. After a major car accident and several months in a psychiatric hospital he gave up his university studies, returned to Broome and devoted himself to music and writing songs.
Features Ernie Dingo, John Moore, Maroochy Barambah and Bob Faggetter."
"In 1990, the dynamic musical Bran Nue Dae by Jimmy Chi and the band Kuckles premiered to impressed audiences at the Festival of Perth, before touring the nation. Set in the far north-western Australian town of Broome, Bran Nue Dae used original music, humour, serious issues and irony to showcase a range of stories and issues relating to Aboriginality. "
Looks like Elsie (My kombi (not Bill )) is going to be in the movie.
She will be having an extreme hippy makeover, involving flowers, turtles, pelicans and ocean scenes. Should look pretty far out
There is only one issue with Elsie. She is a bit light round' the middle (wish I was to ) and missing a middle seat. I am hoping someone may be able to help me out as I need to purchase one as soon as possible. I am after a baywindow middle seat matching my rear one.
Thanks for your help. _________________ ...but I, I am fallin, and if I let myself go im the only one to blame...
Congrats on your Kombi being chosen-I am sure someone will have a middle seat to sell or perhaps even loan during filming period.
Hope you negotiated a nice fee
