Director: Russell Kilbey
Producer: Russell Kilbey, Amy Scully, Ian Walker 

Description: 

Mark Boerebach lives in a black and white world, but he dreams in color.
A nearly blind recluse with Asperger's Syndrome, can he break out of his constrictive routine and show his amazing music chart recall on a live TV quiz show? Along the way we have some incredible insights into Mark's sad and remarkable life. Socially ostracized his whole life, he has an encyclopedic knowledge of the Australian music charts. Though plagued by anxieties, he is an endearing figure as he reveals his bizarre relationship to a now-defunct plastic bottle and his double life as an Astronaut/Media Baron in a place called Earth 2.
