He continues, It’s a period film set in the ’70s, and we’re talking about the folksy, earthy, textural ’70s, so it was all about texture: woolen jumpers, lots of corduroy.
Discussing his own connection to the film material, Baker adds, I grew up in Lennox Head [in northern New South Wales], on the beach, I was sort of raised by the older guys on the beach, and this all just range pretty true for me. It resonated in a powerful way.
