Emerging Minds – First Nations

Embracing First Nations advocacy

Emerging Minds

Film, Video Production

Capturing Emerging Minds' Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander National Consultancy Group was a whirlwind of creativity, challenges and culture

The film project unfolded in a single, tightly choreographed day, maneuvering around the group's planning day at the Living Kaurna Cultural Centre. Alongside the Flinders Medical Centre, the location came with its own set of challenges.

Between grumbling traffic, wailing sirens, and shifting winds, I had to stay nimble, both on set and in the edit. Anchored by key interviews and contextual cutaways, the end product emerged in post, turning a tricky shoot into a showcase of First Nations knowledge and resilience.
