Every year, TEDx Sydney commissions a handful of films to play between speakers. This year, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of TEDx, the theme of the event is Legacy. This film is about Colin Taylor, who has left quite a legacy. It was shown at the premiere of TEDx Sydney 2019.

DIY is a portrait of Colin, a man who’s lived one hell of a life. We found Colin by chance, and his story blew us away. Colin has built four houses, an ocean-going yacht, a trimaran, and an aeroplane – which he learnt to pilot. And he’s not done. Colin’s final project may be his most interesting one yet.

The short film shows Colin and how he has reached this stage in his life.
