‘Writing this book is a joyous celebration of the crazy year I had in 2018. Getting married and making a film at the same time is not something I would recommend, but something I will always look back on with pride and love. To be able to share my gaze and give voice to how I see my industry, my country and the commentary around Aboriginality makes this book something that is incredibly close to my heart.’ - Miranda Tapsell
