Lint is the first feature film from Boorloo-Perth creative David West. It's a hyper independent West Aussie film about Iris (Melissa Coci) and Susan (Courtney Swartz), colleagues who work at an environmentally friendly dry cleaning company who conspire to bring down their sleazy boss Vincent (Tom Camp). Along the way, they get distracted by dinners with friends, tennis lessons, and more, all the while their exploits are interspersed with sultry shots of Vincent against the backdrop of sunsets.
This interview with David was recorded in May 2025 after Lint screened at the WA Made Film Festival and has been sitting, waiting to be birthed into public existence ever since. What better time to release it than ahead of the VHS Tracking Presents... screening of Lint at Goolugatup on 17 June 2026 between 6:30pm - 9pm. Tickets are free and available now, so if you're around, head along and support Aussie cinema.
The interview starts as you might expect: with a conversation about goats. David's Zoom profile picture was that of a goat, which spurred a discussion about how great goats are. What happens after that, well, you'll discover as you listen.
