We were privileged to have John film stories for Pacific Pulse in Papua New Guinea and Australia. John travelled to Port Moresby in 2010 to film stories with Pacific Pulse presenter Tania Nugent after they first worked together on Brisbane’s Dreaming Festival in 2009.

An insight into the philosophies of one of Australia’s leading cinematographers.
Telling stories with pictures is older than two legged humans, and television is the narrative of our age. After more than 20 years behind the camera for the ABC, John ‘JB’ Bean has trained his lens on everything from Prime Ministers pressing the flesh, the settling dust of bomb blasts, to the reality of third world Papua New Guinea. The job is at times confronting, and others uplifting, but wholly rewarding as he seeks to tell the stories of people who have something positive to say.
