The
Ballad of Betty & Joe
“I’m
thrilled we were able to screen this beautiful
film at Fringe Family Weekend. It was an incredible 12mins
as the park was drawn to complete silence . . . The film was
appreciated by all which was clear in the enthusiastic applause.
It was perfect.” – Alison
Howard, Director (Adelaide) |

Every morning Betty tramps
alone through the big city to join her fellow buskers in the
pedestrian tunnel below, trying to earn a living. But her
earnings are meagre, and to make things worse, the new security
guard, Joe, is trying to confiscate her fiddle. While Betty
dreams of fame and fortune, Joe dreams of earplugs –
something’s got to give!
