Maribyrnong City Council

Creative West

A four-minute community film for Maribyrnong City Council, made to build public momentum for Creative West, the proposed cultural precinct for Footscray's west, before a single sod was turned. Shot over four June days in Footscray, the film is the campaign's centrepiece, built around five distinct local voices: a Wurundjeri Elder, a market vendor, a working artist, a parent, and a music student. Architectural renders appear only after the community's case for them is fully made, demanded by the chorus that precedes them.
