Every year, honours students of the Bachelor of Creative Arts at Flinders University must each make a short film. These films are priceless exercises for both the honours students and for the undergraduates, who work on these films and learn essential skills for their gradual entry into the film industry.
For the honours students it's an opportunity to have a dream film made amongst a university environment, writing and directing their own projects to be completed by November for a premiere screening of all the films.
In previous years, films have gone on to many festivals and had great success, but have had varying budget sizes.
This year the students are teaming to collect a communal amount of money to split between each other evenly. We're running several fundraising events alongside this Pozible in the hopes of making at the very least $1000 for each of us.
Heather Maggs: Short film producer, director and writer. Aspiring to work in television. Upcoming film: a short film about a child with anxiety and how she learns to cope using meditation.
Joseph Cole: Adelaide-based filmmaker, specialising as a writer, director and editor, with aspirations in TV and feature film production.

How The Funds Will Be Used
Each of the films are different in style and priorities. The money will be split in varying amounts between production design, equipment hire and (most importantly) catering.
The Challenges
For any short film there are many obstacles that may appear, especially in the case of low-budget films.
Each of us have had experience working on projects of varying sizes and are aware of many of these problems, but of course this is a learning experience and we're likely to find many more problems we were unaware of. By the end of these shoots and after the films are finished we hope to have learned much more about the process.
