1 3 form y separately published work icon The Legend Maker Ian Pringle , ( dir. Ian Pringle ) Australia : Ian Pringle Films , 2014 7703382 2014 single work film/TV crime

'A piece of paper, a passport, an identity card or a new legend can give a person a second chance, a new life and – in some cases – the ability to commit all manner of crimes.

'Professional forger Alan Figg operates in a world of duplicity where little is what it seems. He provides people with new identities and often the chance of a new life. His clients range from embezzlers to murderers, from credit card scammers to Mafiosi; as long as they can pay, Figg provides, no questions asked. But with age beginning to take its toll on his craft, and a thug threatening his life, Figg's world is about to spin out of control.

Supported by the MIFF Premiere Fund and inspired by a real-life Russian forger, director and screenwriter Ian Pringle (Isabelle Eberhardt, MIFF 1991; Wrong World, MIFF 1985) has crafted a taut, engrossing story about the disposable, desperate underbelly of society.' (Production summary)

'Two technicians in an isolated, satellite relay station pass the time as best they can. The daily transmissions are the only contact they have with the outside world: an uninterrupted stream of violent, bizarre images which form a stark contrast with the starkly beautiful surroundings of the relay station. As one of the technician's nightmares get worse, violence and madness come to the plains of heaven.'
