OUTCOMES:
The project covered storytelling and camera techniques. The participants reviewed the rough cut edits currently in post production, which were on hold after one the team leaders suffered an aneurism [she is in recovery now]. The review enabled the team to provide feedback and suggestions for the scope and vision of the overall project.
SCREENINGS & AWARDS: Stay tuned for updates! This film will be used as training and induction tool for projects in the Coorong and also features as part of our online training resource.
IMPACT & FEEDBACK: We ran this workshop after receiving strong expressions of interest from Ngarrindjeri women and their elder, Ellen Trevorrow, to learn basic digital media skills and be able to record their cultural practices on their own.
