Winner:
Renee Wilson
Renee's fresh approach to filmmaking has resulted in an original style of immersive community video that tells the story of the Mornington Island community in the face of the changing seasons. Filmed over a period of months it also captures a beautiful series of portraits and events taking place in the community. This film is impressive for an emerging filmmaker with a relatively low level of experience, the moments captured on camera demonstrate a remarkable eye and the final edit demonstrates her great skills.
