Marc Fennell doesn’t begrudge his many commitments. The award-winning journalist and documentary-maker is energised by the friction between his projects. He thrives on the collision of perspectives and ideas. “If I’m not doing three things at once, I’m a massive pain in the ass,” he says.
I meet Fennell, 39, on Dixon Street in the heart of Sydney’s Chinatown. The crystalline afternoon light is falling at a slant on the ceremonial gates, which advocate for “trust and virtue”.
