Shot in the outer suburbs of my hometown Adelaide (Davoren Park, Elizabeth, Port Adelaide). The music video is a story about fragile masculinity, petrol heads, and left behind people. It was inspired by my father’s childhood - and my own - and made with the real people from these communities (and my life).

Matthew Thorne was born in 1993 in Adelaide, South Australia. His work combines constructed narrative storytelling and observational documentary, often drawing from the landscape of Australia and its people, to create half-real mythic stories about community, land, spirituality, and work. Matthew currently lives and works between Europe and Australia. -- Recent work includes Marungka Tjalatjunu / Dipped in Black (2022) funded by the Adelaide Film Festival Investment Fund and the South Australian Film Corporation, The Sand That Ate The Sea (2020), and GAIB (2019).

Matthew has published two books; Jingo was born in the slum (2021) and For My Father (2018). His photos also accompany the Spanish language translation of Kenneth Cook’s iconic Australian novel Wake In Fright, published by Sajalín Editores (2021).
