Love Letter from a Wild Hunter: Amiel Courtin-Wilson on Hail

Hail (2012) is filmmaker Amiel Courtin-Wilson's grandest, most audacious and most cinematic statement. A piece of meditative art cinema set among the lowlifes of Melbourne's inner north, it shows the oft-sensationalised 'underbelly' of the Coburg/Preston criminal belt. Courtin-Wilson tells Anthony Carew about working with former prison inmates, filming a dead horse in midair, and why you shouldn't call Hail a docudrama.
