Short film, big team, super crew. 🦸♂️🦹♂️ It's no easy feat making a short film. From the creative in the classroom, the producing by our fab Dianna, the super crew on the day, and the post-production that follows; but what we love most, is the happy faces before, during and after the shoot. (Except maybe Tuesdays 😜 - sorry, we had to add it) Photos: Julian Neuhaus at Ironbark Films #InclusiveFilmmaking
