This is the story of Bryan Cook. A local inner-city photographer and Australian independent music lover who captured some of the most unique, unseen photos around the inner-city pubs like The Hopetoun, The Vulcan, The Sydney Trade Union Club the Evening star, The Strawberry Hills Hotel and more. His love of film and digital photography inadvertently captured a music scene that was never given a lot of attention or documented by the mainstream press.

Cookie has confirmed that the total number of photographs taken over the years exceeded 80,000, a monumental achievement.

The Metaphor That Became a Room is a psychological drama exploring identity, communication, and the struggle for self-understanding. Divided into two parts, the film first delves into the protagonist’s frustration with the urge to persuade others, realizing that over-explaining only distorts meaning. A note from the past echoes a hard truth: “Someone’s unwillingness to understand will always outweigh your effort.” In A Symphony of Unfinished Selves, the narrative shifts inward, revealing the protagonist’s fractured identity. Trapped in a metaphorical room built from illusions and contradictions, he reflects on his dual persona—the social facade and the hidden, lost self. The film questions how we see ourselves versus how others see us and whether true self-recognition is possible. Through minimalist dialogue and layered symbolism, the film captures the silent tension between who we are, who we appear to be, and who we long to become.
