UNCLE is an intimate portrait of Uncle Jason Coombes and the many worlds he moves between; Country, family, care work, queer community and performance.
The title treatment responds to this multiplicity by treating UNCLE as something assembled rather than singular. Each letter draws from a different material language; paint, mark-making and texture; reflecting the idea of moving between worlds and holding multiple identities at once.
The variation within the word speaks to the film’s exploration of belonging and self-determination, as well as chosen family and fluid belonging; kinship formed across spaces, communities and ways of being. Rather than fitting neatly within one world, the identity celebrates the richness of holding many at once.
The tactile, imperfect quality of the lettering brings warmth and humanity to the title, reflecting the film’s tender and personal approach to its subject.
