Film Makers Evening

Why Visual Storytelling? Because stories come alive when we see them. Film has the power to transport, transform, and ignite emotions in ways words alone sometimes cannot. It blends imagery, sound, and movement to create immersive experiences that deepen understanding and connection. Join us to explore how filmmakers craft compelling narratives, why visuals can amplify storytelling’s impact, and how cinema bridges cultures, generations, and ideas. Step into the world where stories breathe—through film.

Join our eclectic group of creatives on Saturday 8th March from 5:15pm to talk all things visual. Joining us is local, Tully O’Regan, a passionate story teller! Tully will be talking about his recent investigative documentary on the areas relationship with coal, revealing policy shortcoming, economic myths and environmental concerns. Vanessa Lam (Ness Studios) aims to shift current paradigm in her films and creative works, exploring taboo issues, and shedding light on topics not discussed in mainstream media. She is a creative and fun powerhouse with loads to share! And Merri May Gill who understands the corporate end of filmmaking, has engaged in government video production, photography and makes her own daring, playful and fabulous short films. Merri May connects with real people, finds real stories with real emotion. She is an all-round sustainable movie maker!

You will get to chat, watch and enjoy two short films and a courageous trailer!
