James Branson is a Sydney-based filmmaker and the writer, director, executive producer, co-editor, and co-writer of the original score to feature film Bunny - a post-apocalyptic quasi horror about a young woman roaming climate-ravaged Australia in search of sustenance.

In this conversation we delve into:

• James background as a musician, marketer and editor of grungy zine and YouTube channel.
• Making a documentary series about a BDSM sex cult in Armidale.
• How a forced redundancy at work led to James self-financing his debut feature Bunny.
• How he made the film completely independently with the help of producer Taylor Thompson.
• Using his marketing skills to take the film out via self distribution.

Enjoy this great nuts and bolts chat about how it is still possible to make a strong film completely independently.

The film will be touring Australia in early 2026. More details on their website: https://afilmcalledbunny.com/
