Yulgilbar Station
‘Of Time’.
In the heart of Western NSW, cradled by the gentle currents of the Clarence River, stands the modest yet richly storied Yulgilbar Station. This humble piece of Australia's history serves as the canvas for the heartwarming advertising film "Yulgilbar Station: Of Time", envisioned by the director M.P. Dole and crafted to life by the dedicated team at Daughter Collective Production Company. This tender narrative invites viewers to traverse the quiet yet profound journey from 1840 to the present, illustrating the harmonious relationship between people and the nurturing embrace of nature that has quietly guided the station through the journey of time.
Within the gentle pace of the film, each frame whispers tales of a land that has cradled one of Australia's oldest Santa Gertrudis stud farms. The story unfolds with a quiet grace, depicting a humble beginning that blossomed into a place of quiet excellence, where dedication to nurturing the Santa Gertrudis herd meets respect for global influences and traditions. It's a story spun from threads of devotion, simple pleasures, and a steadfast commitment to embracing the rhythms of nature with open hearts.
The narrative tenderly explores the manifold facets of time, capturing fleeting moments of existence, reflection, and unity, urging viewers to pause and immerse themselves in the simple yet profound cycles that mark life at Yulgilbar. Here, time unfolds not in hours or minutes, but in the precious moments shared, the bonds nurtured, and the silent nods to the custodians who have tenderly cared for the land before.
With a gentle hand, director M.P. Dole guides viewers through this unassuming yet rich tapestry, crafting a visual poem that invites one to delve into the collective wisdom and humble offerings nurtured by generations at the station. A poignant reminder that amidst the frenzy of modern life, there exists a sanctuary where time slows, allowing space for reflection, connection, and an embrace of a legacy woven with simplicity, respect, and a deep affection for the land.
"Yulgilbar Station: Of Time" it's a gentle invitation to journey through time in its most humble form, fostering an intimate understanding and appreciation for a legacy that stands with quiet dignity, embodying the gentle cadence of life in harmony with nature's ebb and flow.

‘Live without barriers’.
Director: Michael Dole
Executive Producer: Annika Johansson
‘Live without barriers’ is the lead in an installment of content that captures the unique spirit of ilabb people. A depiction of what happens when you look beyond and see the world
from a unique perspective - without fear of external judgement. Free to push the boundaries and put yourself out there. To go within, see beyond and let go.
Shot in the remote sand dunes of Glinks Gully in New Zealand’s North Island, we follow the internal and external journey of New Zealand Olympic freestyle skier and TV host Anna Willcox. Snow is not a barrier as she ‘sand skis’ down 100 metre sand dune faces, the film oscillating between her conscious and subconscious states.

'To bold beginnings’ Josh Niland
Inspired by the insight that Australians are just as likely to raise a glass to ambition as we are to achievement, ‘To Bold Beginnings’ is a toast to those forging ahead with bold ideas and a celebration of all that’s still to come.
In this film we has partnered with one of the world’s most innovative young chefs, Josh Niland. Recognised for his boundary-pushing approach to seafood, commitment to sustainability and combatting issues of food waste, Niland’s avant-garde style is expressed in each of his dishes. Josh shares his own bold beginning story via long and short form content, revealing how he came to find success on his own terms.

The Avalanches
'We will always love you' film
Michael Dole co-directed this piece with director & artist Jonathan Zawada.
Production Company: Daughter
Client: EMI Music
The Avalanches ‘We will always love you’ is an exploration of the vibrational relationship between light, sound and spirit.
The part music film, part documentary, part motion art is inspired by the NASA Voyager Golden Record project a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk containing a variety of natural sounds, spoken greetings in several languages, and a 90-minute selection of ethnic music. It was to be launched into space and portray human life on Earth to any form of alien intelligence that would come to find it.
Exploring the journey of Ann Druyan.
The woman who helped put together the series of gold records ‘Cosmos’ currently floating out there amongst the stars.
Druyan and astronomer Carl Sagan fell in love with one another while working together on the Voyager project.
One of these sound included on the Voyager Golden Record was Ann Druyan’s heartbeat, recorded on the same day that her husband, Sagan, proposed to her. The record was inserted in the space probes of 1977’s Voyager Programme and launched into space. And now the heartbeat of a woman in love floats in space for eternity.
The film explores the transcendent nature of music itself. Beginning with the physical, we become the ephemeral, escape the confines of the planet before we are bounced back by celestial objects. On our return we have changed, enmeshed in the universal fabric. Having shed physical form, the moments we see are of unencumbered humans in evangelical ecstasy.
How we can move from the unsure human condition to liberated state of positivity and freedom. Through sound we are turned pure signal.

‘Something to dream of’.
Director: Michael Dole
Executive Producer: Annika Johansson Creative & Production Company: Daughter Collective
Artist: SetMo
Label: Awal
In our filmic approach to music video ‘Something to dream of’ we explore the
themes of attachment, loss and preservation, through the visual narrative of intimate relationships.
In subconscious moments we see our talent almost projected into their own self, lost within the reality they have found themselves in. Moving away from a world of obsession and distraction. Entwined in strings, a comment of what needs to be unravelled following the attachment of another. With actions of pulling herself out of attachment, she grabs her luggage and throws out their contents, a depiction of letting go’ of the baggage that has stopped her growth as a person during the addiction of another and their relationship. We see her covered in plastic, as if preserving or protecting herself, in her surreal existence. They move forward together, leaving the attachment of the past behind, in an action of euphoria, to let go & release oneself.

Stevan
'Onyx' Music video
Creative Director: Michael Dole
Film Director: Michael Dole
Executive Producer: Annika Johansson
Cinematographer: Mike Perry
Photographer: Eddy Ming
A call to arms against pre-conceptions perceptions. The mindset that self-defines or puts people in a box based on appearance or pre-conceived cultural definitions.
This track and film pushes against these prejudices through a personal narrative of the celebration of difference & diversity.
Black Onyx is a powerful protection stone. It absorbs & transforms negative energy, and helps to prevent the drain of personal energy. The personal affirmation ‘I draw strength from my past experiences’. This affirmation becomes the premise of the film.
We first see the contrasting white hand prints on Stevan skin as we see him struggle. A metaphor of scars of past experiences.
To then later see him torchlit almost stalked in the darkness of a forest.
To resolve as we see him protect & purify himself with black paint, and metaphor for the healing quality of the crystal.
