Optus: The Violinist

Brought to life by Special New Zealand and production house Revolver the film details how many everyday Australians have extraordinary talents, but at some point, real life takes over and they no longer have the time, drive or belief in themselves to say YES and chase their passion. This film chronicles the story of a steel worker, played by violinist Eric Avery, whose character also has an incredible talent - he is also an extremely talented violinist who plays Jimmy Barnes' iconic Australian anthem, Working Class Man while on the work site. The reaction and support he receives from his colleagues, who decide to upload the moment online which then gets shared socially, pushes him to take the next step and pursue his passion of playing the violin.
