Pinnaroo SA, April 2006
CHALLENGE: The Hero Project worked with 3 communities and schools in Murrayville, Pinnaroo and Karoonda in the second series of workshops to train the students in digital media skills to script, storyboard, film, record sound, and create edit-in-camera films.
PARTNERS: Arts SA Health Promotion Through The Arts; Country Arts SA Regional Arts Fund; Mallee Health Service Inc; Tallstoreez Productionz
Film: Pinnaroo Heist
OUTCOMES: The energetic and truly inter-generational team made a fun and engaging short film, shot and edited in one day! Using their quirky op-shop – a former bank with the old safe still intact – the young people created a fantastic little comedy. We especially enjoyed the tumbling tumble weed, which required a dedicated tumble weed wrangler…
SCREENINGS & AWARDS: Come Out 2007 Youth Film Festival at the Mercury Cinema in Adelaide.
IMPACT & FEEDBACK: The project was a great step in our ongoing outreach program to make digital media more accessible to regional and remote schools and communities.
