About this Short Film
Fight Pub (Arthur Creative Melba, Australia, 2025) is a stop-motion short included in the Focus on Ability International Short Film Festival. Using tactile, hand-crafted animation, the film explores adult themes such as bullying, crime, group dynamics, intellectual disability and mental health. It offers a thoughtful, sometimes unsettling look at how these issues can affect people and communities, and it does so through a medium that highlights craft and care. Suitable for mature audiences, Fight Pub complements the festival's commitment to showcasing the abilities, experiences and achievements of people with disability. It invites viewers to reflect rather than to be told what to think.

The first film idea I ever had for the focus on ability film festival was to do a documentary on the guys from the radioactive radio program. Sadly that film still hasn't been shot but it is great to see some of those same guys staring in this creative film.
