Young Filmmakers

Sunshine Coast

Showcase!

The Young Filmmakers Showcase is supported by the Sunshine Coast community. It has been set by a hardworking group of people who want to create new opportunities for Young People on the Sunshine Coast.

The aim is to unite Young People and inspire future filmmakers by encouraging them to share ideas, have their voices heard on issues of concern to them, showcase their talents and celebrate their contribution to the community.

This free film event will be held on Sunday the 16th of May 2010 creating an opportunity for the young filmmakers of the Sunshine Coast to expand their filmmaking experience.

"Narnia Voyage of
the Dawn Treader"

"Narnia Voyage of the Dawn Treader" is the biggest mayor motion picture production to happen on the Gold Coast. It is a 20th Century Fox production using the Warner Brothers Studios at Movie World.
A behind the scenes tour of the set was a once in a lifetime opportunity to visit the Magical world of Narnia. We even got to stand at the helm of the Dawn Treader! Thanks to Ernie Malik and Alicia Mayer Beverley for making this possible. The young filmmakers from Cherbourg, are now looking forward to their tour of the John Cox Creature Workshop, which will be another feast of cinema magic. Way to go, Cherbourg! We hope this inspires communities all over Australia to make and share their stories.
