Quiet Achievers of Brisbane
We are looking for individuals/ movie educational institutions who would like to be involved in directing and producing a short film that:
-
Tells the story of a current exciting and ground-breaking individual from the Brisbane Area;
-
Told in first person (they tell their story as opposed to an interview);
-
Is 5 to 10 minutes long;
-
Incorporates beautiful cinematography to be both visually and aurally engaging;
-
Includes a high quality edit (gives you a chance to aim high to showcase your work).
Note: The subject of your film can be from any field of endeavour: entertainment, science, the arts, business, the environment, government etc. They must be doing something that is exciting, very different and beneficial to our city/ world.
Timeframe:
The goal is for a December screening at a local cinema.
Final edits due to me by October 31st, 2025.
This is not a paid exercise and any involvement will be for the sake of practice and honing one’s skills with the goal of sharing that at a cinema event with one’s colleagues and family.
Update:
We currently have 1 short in the can; 2 more shorts being edited; 1 currently shooting; and 2 more under planning. Still needing another 3 stories. Timeline for screening may be moved back to early 2026.

ME
ME – A film about meaning (a reflection)
What it means to be human. We are driven by a kaleidoscope of passions, experiences, dreams, and connections—each a vital thread in the tapestry of our lives. At our core, the forces that drive us often spring from a deep desire for purpose, belonging, and creative expression. This drive is less about a single destination and more about the journeys we take, the challenges we overcome, and the moments of clarity that shape our sense of self.
Our meaning system is as unique as our fingerprints. It’s constructed from the personal narratives we create and the values we hold dear. For some, it may be built on relationships and the shared support of community; for others, it might emerge from an inward exploration of values, passion, and authenticity. Think of it as an ever-evolving framework—a dynamic interplay between our inner world and the external influences that shape us. It reflects who we are, where we come from, and where we hope to go.
What gives us joy and energy can vary immensely. For many, it’s found in the moments of creation, discovery, and connection. Whether it’s the thrill of a new idea, the quiet satisfaction of understanding a complex concept, or the warmth of human interaction, these sparks of joy illuminate our path and remind us that every day carries the potential for transformation. Energy, in this context, is the fuel that propels us forward, enabling us to challenge our limits and embrace the kaleidoscopic nature of life.
Underlying our worldview are values that guide our decisions and shape our interactions. These might include integrity, empathy, curiosity, or resilience—qualities that not only define our individual character but also influence the broader communities we build. Each person’s value system is the foundation upon which they interpret the world, crafting a narrative that is both uniquely personal and universally resonant.
The film project ME aims to be a beautiful celebration of this complexity. By examining the essence of what drives us and revealing the deep truths that reside within, ME isn’t just a film—it’s a reflection of the human experience. It invites viewers to look beyond surface-level identities into the intricate mosaic of feelings and memories that make each person irreplaceably unique. In doing so, it holds up a mirror to our shared humanity, challenging us to reexamine what we value, what energizes us, and ultimately, what it means to be truly alive. It is ultimately a meaning project. For those involved it will provide a vehicle to examine what is important to them in life and for viewers to reflect on their own sense of meaning.
