LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!

​When we think of cinematography, the old “Lights, Camera, Action” cue may be the first prompt that comes to mind but nothing could be further from the truth.  A long time before we can cry “Lights”, so much more needs to have happened...

Mountain Ash Insights and Freestate Studios are nearing completion of the Food Resilience Strategy project for the Huon Valley Council.  To support the written Strategy, Mountain Ash Insights are working with local Huon Valley based videographer Anna Cadden to develop three videos highlighting the three priorities of the Strategy. The first of these has recently been filmed at Scrubby Hill Farm.

From breaking ground to disaster recovery, Mac and Oli from Huski Greens shared with us their story, which we are excited to be showcasing through this video. We were lucky enough to be at the farm on a Blitz Day when members of the community came together to show how many hands can make light work of even the most daunting of tasks.   It was so inspiring to see the power of community coming together to breathe some life back into the community gardens. Scrubby Hill is not just home to a market garden, it is a social space, a learning centre, a green oasis and an inclusive arena for all. 

The second video will be centered around the Cygnet Seed Library, with filming due to begin in the next few weeks. 

The logistics of a shoot – the scheduling, arranging permissions, designing the interview questions, and the many rounds of post-production editing all form a part of the work, but really fall a distant second to the passions of the individuals being highlighted.  Meeting these people has been an honour and we are excited to see where these videos will take us. ​
