CAMEL FILM JUDAS COLLAR: Interview with Writer, Director & Producer

If you had found out that there was an especially made collar designed for feral camels in Australia that when put on one particular camel, that now that camel was responsible for all his fellow herd members being shot, because ‘he’ unknowingly had led the human predators directly to his herd, what would you do?

For Australian woman, Alison James, this resulted in using her award-winning drama director and writer skills to tell the entire world the story of feral camels in Australia - from the CAMEL’S perspective. This has never been done before!

We had the pleasure of interviewing Alison James (writer & director) and Brooke Silcox (producer) as they share with us how they came to bring this incredible depiction of an Australian feral camel to life.

What is a Judas Collar?

In outback Australia a wild camel is captured and fitted with a tracking device known as a Judas Collar. Based on a real life practice, Judas Collar is a scripted, no-dialogue, live action short film that explores the story of a camel used to betray her kind.

You’ll feel joy, connection, heartbreak, possibly even tears of grief as you watch this incredibly depicted short film with the cast being solely Australian camels.
