Jacob Richardson's feature film debut The Aegean sees the Queensland based writer-director embrace the Grecian story of a widower, Hector (Costas Mandylor), who finds himself in the orbit of Khristos (Light), a refugee who finds himself in the waters of the Aegean Sea. As Khristos finds himself becoming embedded in Hector's life, he discovers an unexpected bond that will give him a sense of place and purpose that he was missing.

In the above interview, Jacob talks about the personal connection to the narrative of The Aegean, how he worked with Costas Mandylor and Light to create their characters, and what it was like working with cinematographer Oliver Hay and composer Allister Harrison on the film. Jacob also talks about his journey from being a film critic to a filmmaker, and how each creative endeavour impacts on the other.

The Aegean is released by Radioactive Pictures in Australian cinemas on 16 May 2025. Check your local cinema for screening dates.
