"I loved the fresh air and beautiful scenery"

Each and every month we pass the newsletter baton to a different member of our user-led group, Soul Fly Buddies.

Today we hear from Bevan (pictured below) who tells us more about his film work, beach adventures and a brilliant find in a Marrickville music shop:

"I’ve been keeping busy lately with work, movies, filmmaking and spending time with friends and family.

I’ve been working at the café and I really enjoy it. I do a lot of washing up, and sometimes when I need extra help, my friends at the café help me out. Coffee is my life, so I have a great time working there. My boss is always happy with me and says I do a good job.

I’ve also been going to the movies a lot. I’ve watched Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Mutiny and The Runner. I’ve also been watching the new DC Comics show Lanterns and it is freaking amazing!

I’m also working on another short film with my friend. It’s about me, my love of films and filmmaking, and some of my past experiences.

I also turned 45 this year. My little brother and my friend Rinta took me to a café called Algorithm in Marrickville for coffee and food. We also went to a music shop, where my friend bought me the AC/DC Iron Man 2 soundtrack on CD. I was so happy and we listened to it in the car afterwards.

After that, we went to Clovelly Beach. I loved the fresh air and beautiful scenery.

I’ve had a great couple of months."
