Gregor Jordan has directed five features starting with his debut film Two Hands. But before that he made the short film Swinger, which won Tropfest and went on to win at Cannes. I caught up with Gregor at Fox Studios in Sydney.
Nash Edgerton won tropfest in 1995 with Deadline, and was a runner-up with Lucky, eight years later.

Leon Ford directed The Big Date and Glitch, both Tropfest finalists. Subsequently he wrote and directed the feature film Griff The Invisible. He's also written and acted in a significant amount of television. Leon took time off from writing to talk to me.
Abe Forsythe has made three films that are major Tropfest winners. The first was Guided by the Light of the Lord, which he directed when he was a teenager. Then he made Being Carl Williams and Shock. Abe acts, writes and directs – and did all three on his feature Ned, about Ned Kelly. Now he favours writing and directing. We met up in Darlinghurst, Sydney.
