A Place Like This (Documentary Short Film)

A documentary short about a man, his garden and the moments that define us.
Special thanks to former WWII lancaster bomber pilot Alex Jenkins and his wife Pauline.

I love how this movie is simple, minimal and on point. Tells you that you do not need to exaggerate a movie to tell a story.

[@drew-shourd]

Wow, great job David and the entire crew. An amazing story told by an amazing man in an amazing garden, a win/win/win 🙏💞🌺📽

[@roberthughes1134]

Moved beyond words. Thank you.

[@dongladstone2029]

Wonderful. Unsentimental yet remarkably moving. Thank you! 🙂

[@pamelasullivan6056]

Loved it! Your choice to contrast the dangers of war against Alex's beautiful garden was brilliant.

[@sharonkelly3485]

What a humble, beautiful man. This short film moved me deeply. Thank you.

[@CassyFilms]

Rest In Peace Alex Jenkins. He died peacefully with his garden...

[@zjapp]

Intense story. Got goosebumbs the whole time especially when he told about the guys that fell out of the airplane. Beautifull tribute to the generation we owe so much to.

[@Mrjimmybuckets24]

I could listen to him talk all day, wow. Well done capturing this man's story.

[@donhendricks3190]

[@nicklieten3858]

Rest in Peace Mr. Jenkins :( Safe flight to your fallen comrades of the AR°F² Lancaster. Thank you for your service and our freedom. We, War Visitors Linkhout, will never forget you and your crew and will commemorate that horrific incident every year.

[@dylanfitradi4582]

A lovely piece of art

[@barbarabonventre344]

Mark Dextraze is God’s Gift to ALL OF US. He shows us that there is something uniquely wonderful about each and every one of us. Much like Fred Rogers (Mr.Rogers from PBS) did his whole life, Mark and his family are sending out a real message to humanity.... focus on the abilities and not the disabilities. We all have so much to share and learn from one another when we try to step into another person’s world. They are real insights into many worlds, some of which cannot be learned from books. God Bless the Courageous and the Kind. Thank you for adding to my world.

[@missricka6801]

What a lovely tribute!

[@sriddle3569]

I just love this veteran and his garden, well done

Can someone make a reaction paper in here

[@mariannemoller7670]

beautiful

[@anikettrivedi8447]

beautiful :)

[@armadilloyeah3846]

what sort of camera lens did you use for the interview

[@TallstoryfilmsAus]

That was a Sony FS100 and a kit lens. Pretty old camera by today's standards. Similar camera you'd buy today would be the FS5 or FS7

[@nycvideoauditions]

Well done!

[@losworld73]

Lovely! And who didn’t like it? 26 people don’t know how to take a moment to enjoy stillness

[@emmahamilton1467]

Hi, I was just curious as to what type of documentary this is?

[@zimik832]

Today in class we watched this documentary and these are called Performative documentaries where it's more personal and subjective in nature.

[@Mmmmkay126]

@@zimik832 Not performative, that would involve the director him/herself engaged in the documentary. This would be a biopic with a huge emphasis on cinematic imagery and scenic/environmental shots and a limited scope.

[@PupiGarcia]

Excelente!

[@mattm.9424]

May he rest in peace

[@davidhunter5352]

He isn't dead

[@leonipopeoni]

Awesome job 👌 But why did you blurr out the background at the interview scenes. Would be way better if you had either left it like you recorded it or done it with depth of field. But like i said brillant job

[@TallstoryfilmsAus]

Thanks! Interview scenes were actually shot on a zoom lens so the background blur in the interview is all in camera. I’m a big fan of soft backgrounds, find it keeps the focus on the subject where it should be.

[@heliosmediafilms]

+Tall Story Films what? looks like iris blur done in post...would be much better without as the focus is on the gardens... however, great piece :)

[@TheJaayys]

Music please?

[@davemay3231]

+TheJaayys music is by Mitch Boothey, let us know if you want us to put you in touch

[@TheJaayys]

+David May I'd just like to know the title of the music, thanks a bunch

[@DJRavinszkha]

hey, could you please help me with that, that would be awesome:))))

[@TallstoryfilmsAus]

Hey there, the music was an original composition by Mitch Boothey. Not available anywhere else unfortunately

[@alaezeus9458]

Name of the song ?

[@TallstoryfilmsAus]

Song is an original composition by Mitch Boothey. Let me know if you want me to put you in touch

[@alaezeus9458]

I want it for a high school video actually

[@warenessmedia]

I am interested in this song, how do I go about contacting him?

[@DJRavinszkha]

could you please help me with that :) Thanks!

[@thomasdykstra100]

Hope he met the Gardener on the best of terms...just bear that in mind, in your own right. Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus! Come quickly...

[@samanthacurtis6162]

Although an interesting story, the audio is too muffled, and the music overwhelms his dialogue.
