If you are living fearlessly with a disability and you’ve always wanted to be a movie star, your chance is here.
Fearless Films, in conjunction with Screenworks and Feros Care, are looking for stars for their season two production about people living boldly with disability.
If you want your story told or are determined to pursue a personal challenge, you will become the story of the film.
If you dream big, plan big and live big and boldly, the film’s producers would love to hear from you.
Applicants living with disability can submit their stories or personal challenges and tell producers them what makes them fearless.
Fearless films is also looking for five emerging and innovative regional filmmakers who are passionate and honest about bringing these stories to life on our screens.
Filmmakers with disability are strongly encouraged to apply for this project and all teams selected for this program will be encouraged to connect with and to include emerging filmmakers with disability from their respective region as part of their teams.
Story applications are open to all those who are under 65 years old and living with a disability.
Applicants are strongly encouraged to upload a short video of themselves with their application form. This can be filmed with a mobile phone. High quality footage is not required, but high quality ideas are.
Fearless Films Season 2 is a collaboration between Screenworks and Feros Care that will challenge traditional views around the lives of people with disability, elaborating upon the themes of Fearless Films Season 1.
Their mission is to provide Australians of all ages and abilities the opportunity to tell their story or to challenge themselves to embark upon a long-held dream.
In doing so, they want to amplify the voices of people with disability, and make sure there is more broad representation of disability in our culture.
The deadline for story applications is September 18.
Following this deadline, a review panel from Feros Care and Screenworks will select a showcase of potential stories to be included in Season 2.
The online application form is live and available here.
If you have any questions about the application process, contact Screenworks project coordinator, Louise Hodgson on (02) 6681 1188 or email coord@screenworks.com.au
