Filmmaker Interview Series: James Branson | Bunny

James Branson is a Sydney-based filmmaker and the writer, director, executive producer, co-editor, and co-writer of the original score to feature film Bunny - a post-apocalyptic quasi horror about a young woman roaming climate-ravaged Australia in search of sustenance.

In this conversation we delve into:

James background as a musician, marketer and editor of grungy zine and YouTube channel.
Making a documentary series about a BDSM sex cult in Armidale.
How a forced redundancy at work led to James self-financing his debut feature Bunny.
How he made the film completely independently with the help of producer Taylor Thompson.
Using his marketing skills to take the film out via self distribution.

Enjoy this great nuts and bolts chat about how it is still possible to make a strong film completely independently.

The film will be touring Australia in early 2026. More details on their website: https://afilmcalledbunny.com/
