'Follow the daredevil adventures of Anglo Australian film maker - and Ozploitation pioneer - Brian Trenchard-Smith through a 50 year career dedicated to giving his audience thrills, spills, laughs and gasps. "The Man From Hong Kong", "Turkey Shoot," " Dead End Drive In", "Siege Of Firebase Gloria", "Stunt Rock", "Leprechaun 3 & 4," and Nicole Kidman's first film "BMX Bandits" have earned his work a cult following. His TV output includes "Silk Stalkings"," Five Mile Creek", "Tarzan", "Flipper", "Chemistry". The Fantaspoa Fantastic Film Festival in Brazil honored him with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Quentin Tarantino dubbed him his " favorite obscure director....great energy, great sense of humor." Brian Trenchard-Smith's wry, insightful tales of the creative challenges of low budget movie making all over the world is both a personal journey and a portrait of his era.'
