From stunts to storytelling, our film community flourishes
FOLLOWING our second successful industry networking event, Screen Fraser Coast is continuing to grow in numbers from our region, with new members being added weekly.
It was inspiring to hear from our guest speaker and committee member, Kevin Friesen on his journey in the stunt and film world, and refreshing to hear that there is no distinct path to take on this journey of making a film career; rather trust the journey and the bends it takes and let life’s experiences enrich and deepen your ability to connect to the creative within.
Knowing at any age and stage, opportunity awaits.
We are thrilled to see people connecting and projects materialising as our film community connects and grows together.
Leading on from the networking buzz are various workshops that will spark the interest of the creatives in our region.
On July 13th we have our first Extras Acting Workshop for 2025 held at the iconic Z-PAC Theatre.
This workshop is inviting all those interested in learning more about the industry and learning the basics of acting and on-set etiquette.
You will also walk away with a free headshot to use in our database for extras and to put forward to other Extras Agencies.
Our next workshop held on July 17th, is a co-initiative of Screen Fraser Coast and the Indigiverse and brings to our region the incredibly talented Scott Wilson to crack open the vault on diversity in writing, creativity and storytelling.
This is where every amateur and seasoned writer alike need to be, as it will undoubtedly add a new tool to your tool kit for making it as a writer in the film and arts industry.
And if those two workshops weren’t enough to wet your appetite, we have the legendary Stephen Hunter from the Hobbit film series coming to our region in August to bring the heat for our acting community.
With Q&As, intensive scene work and acting workshops designed to upskill your craft, Stephen Hunter will be here for a whole weekend, shaking things up on the Fraser Coast.
Screen Fraser Coast will host a location scouting workshop later in the year, most likely after our Inaugural Fraser Shorts Film Festival.
On that note, mark your calendars for October 24- 26th, and if you have a short film you’ve been itching to make, then get to it and submit that glorious work to our festival!
