A rare and intimate insight into the process of one of Australia's most intriguing songwriters: Sarah Blasko.

A decade and a half into an acclaimed career crafting lustrous chamber pop, both solo and with Seeker Lover Keeper, Sarah Blasko chooses to write her sixth album over two weeks in a western Sydney theatre. Despite the ARIA awards and top-10 albums, every song suite is a new challenge.

Director Brendan Fletcher (who wrote and directed Mad Bastards and the Blasko-soundtracked, MIFF 2015 Best Short Film winner Oscar Wilde's The Nightingale and the Rose) gets unprecedented access to the songbird, her archives, her literary-minded father Nikolai and her devoted bandmates for Blasko. He delves into her unique upbringing with missionary parents, a failed marriage and new love, and her voracious drive to create. Deeply personal and often cheeky, this fly-on-the-wall documentary offers a vision of how Blasko's enchanting cathedral of sound is born.
