No. 9 Hellier Street

Director, Videographer, Editor (2019)

A short documentary about Geoff's thoughts on inheriting his late father's possessions.

2019 brought with it the bearing witness of my friend’s bereavement of his father. The grief was often glittered with stories about Justin's life and belongings, and a continued opportunity for Geoffrey to get to know his father better. Geoff and Justin only met four years before Justin's passing.

Justin Wells (1962-2019) was a man with lived hands and mischievous eyes. He loved tea and Jimi Hendrix. And he was an artist who would often repurpose disposed items and sculpt them into a new life. He lived at No. 9 Hellier Street in Troyeville, Johannesburg.
