DEFECT has been a project of labour and one of love... but also one of liability. Over the course of making this film the team have dealt with broken bones, snapped ligaments, punctured lungs, bleeding mouths, hospital waiting rooms, rehab sessions, and scars they're taking with them. But that all became part of the story. Premieres across the world. Theatres, cinemas, carparks and rooms filled with people who turned up to support this film. This film crossed oceans, filled hard drives, broke bodies, and took more than anyone expected. And now it's everyone's to enjoy. A full length film that documents a process that was anything but controlled, but turned out to be their most rewarding to date.
