- Brian Syron was born on November 19, 1934 in New South Wales, Australia. He was an actor, known for Jindalee Lady (1992), And/Or = One (1982) and Backlash (1986). He died on October 14, 1993 in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
- Jindalee Lady is a film about romance and dreams because without romance and dreams my people will have nothing.
- Many people may wonder how many people of Chinese, Indian, French or Polish origin have made a feature film in Australia. I have no idea. What I do know is that there have been many Chinese, Indian, French and Polish people who have directed feature films in China, India, France and Poland - but only 2 Aboriginal people have ever directed a feature film in Australia - their own country.
- "Jindalee Lady is the first time an Aboriginal or non Aboriginal has shown Aboriginal people in a middle class melodramatic production. For me as an Elder of my community I have a responsibility to my people in my work as an artist to carry out their wishes. My community believes it is essential for the survival of my race that we see ourselves living in urban Australia, involved in personal and emotional issues that do not exclusively revolved around poverty and lower socio economic groupings. Our dreaming must continue and we indigenous peoples must live in two worlds. I tried to do what my community expected and wanted of me when I made Jindalee Lady. We wanted to feel proud when we walked out of the cinema!
