Over the course of a year Project Leaders Otis Filley and Dan Schulz undertook a project at Menindee Central School, collaborating with students to create films. The project enabled students of wide ranging ages to
engage with the filmmaking processes under a number of different subject umbrellas including
Visual Art, Science, English and extra curricular activities.

The project facilitated the creation of scripted narrative films, and offered workshops on various filmmaking aspects like story generation and editing. Educational science films on local environmental topics were produced as part of the Science curriculum, with students developing a weekly Student News Channel.

Access to professional level equipment was purchased and set up in a designated space at Menindee Central school, allowing students to borrow equipment, and continue creating stories that can be of tv quality into the future.  

A selection of the films were shown at the 2023 Perfect Light Film Festival in Broken Hill.
