Every year, TEDx Sydney commissions a handful of films to play between speakers. This year, to celebrate the 10^th anniversary of TEDx, the theme of the event is legacy.

BMF Sydney contributed films in 2015, 2017 and 2018. In keeping with the theme, this year the agency took a slightly different tack. BMF teamed up with Glue Society director Paul Bruty to create DIY.

DIY is a portrait of Colin Taylor, a man who’s lived one hell of a life. BMF creative director Dantie van der Merwe said, “We found Colin by chance, and his story blew us away. Colin has built four houses, an ocean-going yacht, a trimaran, and an aeroplane – which he learnt to pilot. And he’s not done. Colin’s final project may be his most interesting one yet.”
