Electric was completed in 2019. The 23 minute film starring Nicholas Hope (Bad Boy Bubby) and Socratis Otto (Wentworth) focuses on a unique text by Australian poet Francis Webb. It is the first in a cycle of films by Wooden Picket that look closely into the life  of one of Australia's truly great, yet very underrated literary figures. Electric ​focuses on the invention of Electro Convulsive Therapy ( Shock Treatment) in Italy by an ethically troubled neuroscientist Ugo Cerletti. The next instalment of the Webb series is titled A Drum for Ben Boyd and will be in pre-production in 2021. It will look into the myths and conflicting narratives around controversial 19th century Australian entrepreneur Ben Boyd.
