If you happen to have been to search out your self working out of gasoline whereas flying above the arid Nullarbor Plain in southwestern Australia, don’t panic. You might need the chance to fulfill Kate, Greg, and their canine Holly.

The pair are the only real occupants of Forrest, a former railway city that’s house to an emergency airport, which serves as an important cease for planes needing to refill mid-journey. Surrounded by miles of desert, Kate and Greg handle the distant property and see few guests, though they’re all the time ready for a traveler to spend the evening.

Director and producer Yannick Jamey dropped in on the duo for “The Big Wait,” a poetic and dryly humorous documentary about life on the Australian plain.

Set to “Heaven and Paradise” by Don Julian and The Meadowlarks, the brief movie captures Kate and Greg’s routine. They alter sheets and mud the mantles of the six cottages on web site, minimize the lawns, and spray herbicides on the runway to forestall weeds from springing by the blacktop and cracking the pavement.

“Even though today we’ve had no visitors from outside,” Greg says early within the movie, “we are all the time trying to make sure that all the beds are available, everything is shiny and nice.” He continues:

And that we, when visitors arrive, can put all of the behind-the-scenes stuff away from us, and whenever you lastly get there, you’ll be able to simply put in your stunning smile to the visitors and say, ‘Where were you? We were waiting for you!’

Jamey punctuates huge, aerial photographs with tight, close-ups to juxtapose the immense geographic isolation with intimate storytelling. Surreal and at instances absurd, “The Big Wait” glimpses an unassuming paradise match for 2 however all the time prepared for the subsequent arrival.

“The Big Wait” simply made the pageant circuit, and Jamey is engaged on a number of brief and feature-length movies in the meanwhile. Comply with his newest tasks on Vimeo.
