About LOVE IN BRIGHT LANDSCAPES

“ Tender and very touching, captures the charm, wit and complexity of a major artist.” – Filmink

In a short life, David McComb gave us his secrets in the shape of his songs. Using his familiar Western Australian landscape as the canvas for his towering psychodramas and heart-broken epics, the tragedy and triumph of McComb’s short but passionate life is brought to life onscreen.

Made over a 14 year period, LOVE IN BRIGHT LANDSCAPES vividly reveals Mc Comb’s story through snatched memories, previously unseen performances, poems, letters, never-before-seen family archive and heart-rending interviewees with his colleagues, family and friends, all woven around dozens of his remarkable songs.

“  * * * * *  A music documentary masterpiece…plays like a Triffids album…….. worth the wait”    –  Jeff Jenkins, Rhythms
