Jason Bray has been involved in the making of many socially-conscious documentaries. As a youth worker with 16 years’ experience, he developed a love for marginalized people and their stories. This insight naturally progressed into the film industry and the formation of production company Red Earth Films. A gifted interviewer, Jason’s films have addressed difficult “underground” issues such as substance abuse in suburban Brisbane and AIDS in Zambia.
FTI Member Russell Brown was Second Unit Camera Operator on Ballots And Bullets.
