Ben Lawrence is an Australian director whose credits include Hearts and Bones, Ghosthunter, and most recently Ithaka, a feature documentary following John Shipton, Jullian Assanges father, in his fight for Julian’s freedom. It’s premiering at Sydney Film Festival this Sunday 7th November, with music by Brian Eno.
In my first face-to-face podcast interview in over 18 months, me and Ben chatted about how he pitted Hugo Weaving against first-time actors in Hearts and Bones, how he unwillingly became a character in his documentary Ghosthunter and how he collaborated with Brian Eno to find the right music for Ithaka.
