Award winning short film: Doug the Barber

Setting Sun Award – Cultural Diversity – Dir. Dan Farmer Farmwalker Films

“Doug the Barber” is a captivating short film brought to life by Farmwalker Films. We spent days immersing ourselves in the world of this eccentric barber, uncovering his incredible life story and vibrant personality. Along the way, we even snagged a haircut or two!

This film marked a significant milestone for Farmwalker Films, making waves in the western suburbs of Melbourne. It helped raise the standard for filmmaking in the inner west, showcasing the region as a hub for high-quality short films that spotlight compelling local characters.

We’re proud of what “Doug the Barber” achieved—not just for us, but for the broader creative community.
