Here’s something for aspiring film makers. This from their media release:
- Short Story Big Screen is a multicultural filmmaking project, which brings people from different communities together to tell their stories and turn them into films.
Short Story Big Screen is searching for local aspiring filmmakers of all ages and cultural backgrounds to participate and create their own film projects in fully funded filmmaking workshops.
Short Story Big Screen is searching for 32 filmmakers to create films about their cultural heritage, their family history or experiences.
The aim of the Short Story Big Screen project is to explore our multicultural community and showcase the diversity of our community on the big screen and as an online cross-media platform.
Short Story Big Screen will be providing the filmmaking workshops free so that all aspiring filmmakers across our communities can participate, create and collaborate.
