“Big Boss” is a short film that arose from a two day process. The film

was made in coversation with Mark Chinsamy, the owner/driver of “Tha

Big Boss”, a high ace taxi dedicated to  the memory of his late

brothers Nolan and Craig. The film was presented at a Lani art space

in glenwood. Crucial to this presentation there was a conversation

with Mark, the artist and the audience at the presentation. “Tha Big

Boss” was also at the presentation and visitors were able to interact

with the vehicle as it was parked in the entrance to the Lani

artspace. The starting point for the project was to engage with

issues of public transportation and the world cup. this primary

concern was extended to an experiment in enthnography/visual

anthropology and real-time documentary forms. While “Big Boss” the film is

complete, “Big Boss” the project will continue.
