Hartley spent a number of years doing small video documentaries and bonus content documentaries primarily about genre cinema from Australia. The experience and connections he gained eventually led him to making the first of three documentaries that made him a name outside of Australia. The first of these, 2008’s Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation!, gives anyone who’s interested the ability to see the sheer creative madness that gave birth to a lot films that genre fans grew up loving, and that also set the stage for Mad Max.
