Tim Cole is an Australian Filmmaker and Music Producer specialising in cross cultural indigenous arts projects – filmed, recorded and produced in the field, independently.

His work has led him to some of the most remote and unique cultures of the Asia/Pacific region producing award winning projects including ‘Tabaran’ filmed in the shadow of a Papua New Guinean volcano, ‘Pintupi’, with the last Aboriginal tribe to leave their nomadic lifestyle and ‘Vanuatu Women’s Water Music’, capturing the unique culture of the Banks Islands, Vanuatu.

During 2016 Tim will be visiting twelve countries, visiting profile indigenous artists and endangered communities, collecting footage, stories and songs from Madagascar to Hawaii, for his next project – ‘Small Island, Big Song’.
