A LITTLE CHAT WITH MICK WATERS, producer/director of LITTLE BLACK WHEELS


Hi Mick, mate firstly congrats on the film. Loved it. One of the things I liked about your film is that you really captured your home town Byron in the light it deserves. Having lived up near Byron when I was younger I always had a love for the place but never understood why that was. I had my honeymoon up there early 2009 and instantly connected with the spot again. What do you think it is that has people so drawn to Byron?

I actually live twenty minutes away from Byron Bay in a rural setting, so I can only speak for myself and wife. We moved here to have children, we wanted the space to raise kids in a more simple, self-sufficient manner. Our little property is perfect for that and we are still close enough to to everything if needed. But, Byron Bay is many different things to many different people. It is a very special place and has been for many years. Locals, Surfers, creatives and alternatives have been living side by side and are part of it's fabric and make it what it is. There is a great variety of people and the climate is beautiful. Australia's most easterly point, the ocean, the mountains, the rivers and the rain forest. You can be surfing one minute and then half an hour later be swimming in a fresh water stream in the foothills. But, there needs to be some changes to people's attitudes on land and in the water or otherwise Byron Bay might become loved to death. We need to be conscious of just taking and make sure there is something left for future generations...
