I have had the honour of writing the title song for the film Little Tornadoes that is being released in cinemas in Australia on May 12th. The song was recorded and produced in Melbourne with singer Sal Kimber and began it’s life as a 70s rock song and ended up becoming a moody atmospheric vibe after the director saw a video of Sal and I rehearsing the song with piano and guitar.

Written and director by Aaron Wilson (Canopy) and co-written by The Slap author Christos Tsiolkas, this heartfelt and affecting period drama depicts a newly-single father’s efforts to weather the turbulence of change – in his life adnd in the world around him.
The film distils the many upheavals of 1970s Australia – from immigration and post-war resettlement, to anti–Vietnam War protests and the women’s liberation movement – into a narrative about one man’s struggle to adapt and a new immigrant endeavouring to find her place in a foreign land. LITTLE TORNADOES is a portrait of a country at a turning point and the human desire for connection.
