The filmmaker behind the award-winning gay documentary The Doctor’s Wife has promised to have his head shaved this week in a bid to raise funds for the film’s sequel.
The Doctor’s Wife 2: Our Big Gay Country Wedding is a follow up to the independently produced, award-winning film by Queensland-based filmmaker Jonathan Duffy which saw him document his move a few years ago to country town Mundeberra from Brisbane after his partner, Vincent Cornelisse, decided to become the town’s GP.
The original Doctor’s Wife film was made for under $10,000 and had its first public screening at the Hollywood Fringe Festival in 2011 before also being shown at the Perth Pride Film Festival, Mardi Gras Film Festival and SpringOut in Canberra.
