Saving the Night
A Weekend at Lake Tyrrell | Inside the “Sanctuary” Documentary
I spent a weekend at Lake Tyrrell helping make a documentary about something most people never notice, darkness.
Teaming up with a talented French documentary filmmaker and astrophysicist Dr Kirsten Banks, we filmed Sanctuary, an upcoming international documentary exploring the global movement to protect our remaining dark skies. Under some of Australia’s most pristine southern skies, it became clear just how rare this experience is, and how easily it could disappear.
This isn’t just about astronomy. It’s about preserving a connection to the universe that humanity has shared for thousands of years. Because once the stars are gone, we don’t get them back.
Sometimes, saving the world starts with simply turning off a light.
Look up, question everything.
