Village Film Maker
"Mike is a community filmmaker; he calls himself the village film maker. His advocacy films, such as recent ones on dog owners rights, come across as moderate and reasonable in tone which makes their advocacy all the more effective." Katerina Korolkevich-Rubbo

Helping Olive to blog led to Rubbo mastering short film making skills, initially so as to be able to post Olive movie clips on YouTube.
A Youtube clip of Olive: Olive's greeting to Youtube:
There are currently over 180 viewable online, with total views approaching 1 million. Starting crudely, the films became more polished with time. By the time Olive died, and Rubbo had become a cycling advocate, his YouTube offerings had become more refined. Most of his films are centred in or around the village where he lives with his family, Avoca Beach, NSW an hour and a half north of Sydney

Famous quotes containing the words village, film and/or maker:
“When the enterprising burglar isn’t burgling,
When the cut-throat isn’t occupied in crime,
He loves to hear the little brook a-gurgling,
And listen to the merry village chime.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“Lay not that flattering unction to your soul,
That not your trespass but my madness speaks;
It will but skin and film the ulcerous place,
Whilst rank corruption, mining all within,
Infects unseen.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“A maker of idols is never an idolater.”
—Chinese proverb.
