Oli Tweddell – Australian Finn sailor | Short Film by Ben Hartnett – 2014

For Ben’s media studies this year as part of his major VCE final film project, he decided to film and document Australian Sailing Team member Oli Tweddell on what he does while sailing the Finn. „My main idea was to create a film that would appeal to sailors who understand the sport, and want to see it in a way that has never been documented before, while also teaching people who may not know the sport that well, how it works, and what sailors are doing in their boats and why they are doing it.“. Ben filmed all of this within 2 days, and has spent hours upon hours editing to create the final film. Hope you enjoy!
