Obsessed with film at an early age, Melbourne based filmmaker Michael Kratochvil (pictured) would often vividly imagine films in his head without actually seeing them, something which helped him develop the idea for his self-financed short film Eileen Pratt, which is set to have its premiere at the Dungog Film Festival at the end of this month. Inspired by a real woman who would sit on a bench outside a pet shop in a shopping centre vicariously watching people for hours on end, Kratochvil fleshed out the character in his mind, turning her into a bus driver and making the decision to tell her story without dialogue.
