‘Does the fog whisper?’

 

 

 

What does the fog whisper when it is graced with a moment of nothingness, where time appears to simultaneously slip through our fingers, yet linger over us? What does the wind murmur when all else comes to stand still? The sensations of the sky, as experienced by the hot air balloon pilot remain ineffable — something in which Yarra Valley-born Scarlett Saunders, 22, can testify for. Scarlett remains only one of a handful of female balloon pilots within the Australian ballooning landscape, where, in 2021 she broke the national record for highest woman at altitude (23,700 ft). Does the fog whisper is a 5-minute documentary that renders the meditative — albeit, sublime — sensations of the sky, through its primary subject, undoubtedly one of Australia’s ground-breaking young figures: Scarlett Saunders.
