Blind Company is a 2009 feature film directed by Melbourne auteur Alkinos Tsilimidos and starring Colin Friels.

Barkla won the 2007 AFI fellowship of $20,000 to observe their collaborative method of working – an approach that led directly to the making of this film.

[2] Geoff Brewster is seeing out his final days at the family's isolated coastal shack – walking the beach and leaving tape-recorded confessions for his estranged wife, Sally.

But the peace of the coastal shack is shattered when his nephew, Josh (Nick Barkla, Em 4 Jay) arrives at the house, volatile and apparently hostile, at the wheel of a Porsche, announcing that he has come to stay.

It polarised critics, some applauding it for its challenging characters and story,[5] while others found the film slow and suffering from a weak script.
