“Hopefully ‘Your Sydney–Your Garden’ will draw people in and show them what they have on their doorstep. A lot of people don’t realise just how beautiful the Garden is,” Mr Shellim said.
The Gardens’ Director of Public Engagement, Kate Faithorn, said in addition to attracting new visitors, the film gives those who have already experienced the Garden something to remember it by.
“This film captures the feeling and emotion that a lot of visitors experience during their visit,” Ms Faithorn said.
“The Garden is colossal in size. Along with the Domain, this green space makes up a quarter of the size of the city’s CBD. When you consider you can take your family to a safe environment and immerse yourselves in nature and yet be so close to everything, it’s a special experience everyone would enjoy,” she said.
Asher Shellim said he especially loves to create films around towns, beaches and attractions that people identify with.
“It was amazing to film the Royal Botanic Garden. From being there at 7am to see a beautiful golden light come through — creating different shapes and textures — to seeing horticulturists at work with all the plants. It really opens your eyes to what sort of work that goes on in the Garden,” he said.
