Quorn youth workshop 1 - 2006 March - Quorn SA
CHALLENGE: The Hero Project team worked with 14 students at the Quorn Area School, supported by the Southern Flinders Ranges Health Service and the Quorn caravan park. They engaged the whole community during the film making and learnt basic digital video and production skills.
OUTCOMES: Their story tells the quirkiness of their beautiful country town: Legend has it that the mythical township of Qourn (on the edge of the great South Australian desert) can only be reached by camel.
The participants created a fabulous script and set of characters, (real and imagined) and scouted the most stunning locations.
