“Walking into Dr Russell’s shop was like stepping into a world of wonder—filled with all manner of weird and wonderful items from the past. Meeting the owner, Phill, I could see the passion behind what he does, the excitement in sharing the stories of his unusual and fascinating pieces. I was drawn in. Making this documentary allowed me to tell the story of how the shop came to be, a result of following his childhood dreams despite challenges and setbacks. It felt like an important story to share, especially during the time of the COVID pandemic.” - Brendan Joel (Producer / Director)
