Make A Film. Make A Difference MAFMAD
We're pleased to announce the launch of Tom Campbell's film, Room for One More?
Tom's film will start screening at youth festivals across Victoria from next month and premiere on the silver screen as part of the Boxing Day cinema spectacular.
Tess Fisher is hard at work with her Year 12 VCE exams and will be completing her film Adventure over the Christmas and New Year period.
Both film makers along with their mentors, production crews, friends and families will be celebrated in February 2012 at a red carpet event. Stay tuned for updates on the event and the launch of MAFMAD 2012!
About MAFMAD
The MAFMAD competition calls on young film makers, 25 and under, to write an idea for a short film that will challenge young people's attitudes to driving, independence and looking out for their mates. MAFMAD is entering it's ninth year of existence and during this period, 17 exceptional films have been produced by young Victorians.
From the ideas submitted, two filmmakers are given the go-ahead to produce their short films with a budget of $20,000, providing an opportunity to work with the TAC in developing a film that will make a difference.
Once produced, the films will be shown in cinemas, online and at youth events. Winners will also receive a $5,000 cash prize.
This competition forms part of the TAC's youth risk taking marketing strategy targeting 16-25 year olds. Research suggests that this age group is more receptive to peer-to-peer marketing rather than traditional mass media. This competition was consequently developed with the premise that they are short films with valuable messages created by young people, for young people.
