Every Last Echo supports Aquila Young's EP as a visual exploration. It explores the idea of existence through the passage of life and the submission to the greater external agencies, ie. the forces of life. It’s a reflection on existence - the magnitude of the force of nature and the human will that yields to it. We are marvelled by the world and its magnitude, and this speaks to the venerable kind because it brings acceptance to the unstoppable journey of life.

On Track is part of Fearless Films Season 2 - the Fearless films are a collaboration between Feros Care and Screenworks that aspires to challenge traditional views around the lives of people with disability. Six short films showcase fearless Australians living with disability through the eyes of regional filmmakers - bold, daring, and extraordinary, these people smash all disability stereotypes. The mission of Fearless Films is to prove that anyone can be fearless – regardless of age or ability. The collection of short films amplifies the voices of people with disability and strives for a broader representation of disability in our culture.
