three one six oh!

Oh what a great night the Three One Six Oh! Film Festival was.

Participants enjoyed a great selection of short films in the Cameo Outdoor Cinema on a very balmy summer evening.

Organisers had a tough time deciding on the final films for selection, this year's short film competition was inundated with entries from young filmmakers from across Victoria.

It was up to the audience on the night to vote for their favourite film. I was pleased to sponsor their prize.

The competition was stiff, but it was terrific to learn that a film called Spit was the winner.

I had the great pleasure of presenting first prize to Director, David and Producer Brian Oakley.

Spit is a documentary about making it in the music business while discovering new ways to contribute to society. Quirky and poignant, the story begins by exploring the exploits of a Christian Rapper who falls into employment as a carer for someone with Cerebral Palsy. It was a very worthy winner.

My congrats to Pocket Bonfire who organised the film festival, it was a great arts event in the Hills and sponsored by a Yarra Ranges Festivals and Events grant.
