Local film director, Jacob Hazeldine, joined Baini on the Big Brekky to chat about his first first feature length film ‘About the Soufflé’

Shot during the tumultuous global pandemic period, Jacob used the prevalent themes of homelessness and turbulence to influence his ‘coming of age’ film.

“It was kind of informed by what we were going through at the time because we had no money… We wrote a story that we could film for free basically, so it’s got a real human touch to it. There’s a rawness to it that I think compliments the story and the themes.”

Jacob said that he was inspired by the DIY French New Wave cinema movement, such as Jean Luc-Goddard’s ‘Breathless’ as a was to tell a very personal and relatable story.

About the Soufflé is screening at the Darwin International Film Festival on Friday September 11th at the Deckchair Cinema. Jacob will be joined by lead actor and co-writer Connor van Helsing on the night for a Q&A.
