Should you had been to seek out your self operating out of gas whereas flying above the arid Nullarbor Plain in southwestern Australia, don’t panic. You might need the chance to satisfy Kate, Greg, and their canine Holly.

The pair are the only real occupants of Forrest, a former railway city that’s residence to an emergency airport, which serves as a necessary 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 at all times 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 modify sheets and dirt the mantles of the six cottages on website, lower the lawns, and spray herbicides on the runway to stop weeds from springing by means of 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 while you lastly get there, you may simply put in your lovely 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 occasions absurd, “The Big Wait” glimpses an unassuming paradise match for 2 however at all times 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 for the time being. Observe his newest tasks on Vimeo.
