Movement director Neil Fleming Brown and film maker Luca Truffarelli have collaborated on a film to explore the depths of the ordinary man & woman.
A film combining movement, fashion and poetry ‘The Wilderness within’ draws upon text from writers Albert Camus, Fernando Pessoa and Ted Hughes to create an enigmatic observation of human's connection with nature - the unexplored caves, the far off deserts and the seabed of ourselves.
Music by Greg Haines
Shortlisted at Berlin Commercial Festival 2019

Strië is the pseudonym of Polish multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Olga Wojciechowska. Initial works released under this alias did not reveal Olga's real name; the moniker was born of a desire to sever ties with her past musical identity, to make daring new music for music's sake and to do so with freedom and impunity.
