S31E13 The Hustler - John Polson

In his teenage years, John Polson was at a crossroads. A single, chance moment—like a sliding door—steered him away from trouble and toward acting. That path eventually led him to found Tropfest, which grew into one of the largest short film festivals on the planet. The festival didn't just transform his own life; it reshaped the entire Australian film industry.
