Show Notes
The Otto Legacy. An Award Winning Documentary. High End Fashion.
Gracie Otto is one of the Ottos—you know, Barry and Miranda Otto, Australian cinematic royalty. But she has carved out her own space in the industry. She’s the director behind The Other Guy, Deadloch, The Artful Dodger, and Heartbreak High.
However, it’s her most recent film, the AACTA-winning documentary Otto by Otto, that pulls back the curtain on the Otto family. What began as a project documenting her father, Barry, as he prepared to premiere a one-man show became something far more personal. Through her lens, Gracie realised she was capturing the unfolding reality of her dad’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
What You’ll Hear:
- How Otto by Otto became a heartbreaking portrait of her father, Barry Otto
- The highs and lows of a career in Australian film and theatre
- The challenge of documenting a loved one’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis in real time
- How and why she never stops working
THE END BITS:
You can watch Otto By Otto on Stan.
