The Walking Man - ABC Documentary

Tuesday, 02 August 2022

Tags:

This is the story of Ross Seaton, the Walking Man, through the lens of Professor Ted Snell, as he sorts through thousands of artworks and collected items hoarded and stockpiled in every room of Ross’ home to bring together an eclectic exhibition set to stun the local Arts community and beyond. This half-hour documentary for ABC iview and ABC TV will show on 10 August 2022.

The Walking Man was an ever-present figure on the suburban streets of Perth, often seen pushing his wheelbarrow or pram along the busy Stirling Highway over many decades. The local community, fascinated by his comings and goings, mused over his intentions. But no one had it right. The Walking Man was a prolific artist, hidden in plain sight, whose work shines a light on the concept of making art just for art’s sake.

The documentary for ABC iview and ABC TV is a VAM Media production, directed by Luna Laure and edited by Frances Elliot, with Brendan Hutchens as executive producer, Rose Grandile-Pizzi as line producer, and Jim Frater ACS as director of photography. Original Music score by Mat ‘Cheeky’ Cheetham, graphic treatment by Tee Ken Ng, colour grade by Paul Komadina and sound design by Envelope.

The project was co-funded and supported by Screenwest.
