Emerging Voices: A New Movement in Australian Independent Filmmaking

In this panel, we'll explore how these visionary creators are bypassing traditional funding and distribution models, opting instead to harness micro-budgets and acts of goodwill to bring their stories to life. Through the lens of Lean methodology techniques, this workshop will uncover how they adapt to the evolving storytelling landscape while making a significant impact. 

Panelists include:

• Gabriel Carrubba (Sunflower, MIFF 2023)
• Melanie Ansley (Yesterday Island)
• Thomas Charles Hyland (This is Going to Be Big)
• Stephanie Troost (Birdeater, SXSW 2023)
