JUNE 2009 ‘Between Home’ - Documentary in progress

Australian producer, Selin Yamin joins the project:

BETWEEN HOME charts the extraordinary four-year journey of young
Australian artist and web designer Nick Jaffe as he sails from Europe to
Australia.

In 2006, 24 year old Australian artist and web programmer Nick Jaffe meets
thirty-something ex-pat Australian filmmaker Jack Rath in an ‘Aussie
Bar’ in Berlin. When Nick tells Jack of his plan to sail solo from Europe to
Australia, Jack resolves to track his progress. Over the next four years,

and irregular meetings in exotic locations around the world. Jack
watches as Nick’s artistic endeavour becomes a cross he has to bear
as he searches for freedom in the space ‘between home’.
