Celina Yuen and Matthew Victor Pastor.
If anyone can lay claim to the mantle of Australia’s most prolific indie filmmaker – and the fastest – it would be Matthew Victor Pastor.
The writer-director-producer has churned out no fewer than six films in the past 18 months, each of the the last four on a remarkable shooting schedule of 5-7 days.
“I grew up around weird and wonderful people in the 3174 postcode [Noble Park, 25km south-east of the Melbourne Cbd] and go between suburban Australia and high-rise Asian-Australian apartment living,” says Pastor, who was born in Melbourne in the year his mother emigrated from the Philippines.
“My crazy filmmaking comes from always being from two worlds, something I used to find discomfort in until I embraced it and turned it into art. Where I’m from I shouldn’t really be a filmmaker, or one who is as efficient as me.
“I wonder, had I tried to be a director from...

Films in the rape-revenge genre typically like to highlight in on their more salacious, titillating and lurid elements. The more brutal the rape and, especially, the more vicious the revenge the better.
However, for his debut feature film, The Devil’s 6 Commandments, writer/director Dicky Tanuwidjaya takes the more staid and philosophical route, going for a more artful approach for the revenge sequences and virtually banishing actual sex from the entire production. Tanuwidjaya also stocks his film with multiple peripheral characters with compounding and intersecting moral dilemmas, so that the plot isn’t singularly driven or too one-note.
When we first meet the main character, Nina (Gianna Patterson), she is already a ruthless killing machine who, along with her half-brother Ares (Felino Dolloso), mete out deadly justice to those who deserve it. Although she desperately tries to cling to her black and white notions of good and evil, that she...
