Endslate 2021 QUT Film, Screen & Animation Students

From the 2021 program: Raw talent, durability, adaptability, steadfast, ground-breaking, family. These are all words that came to mind when tasked to write this foreword. The creative industries are undergoing one of the largest transitions in recent memory, in the face of which the 2021 Film, Screen, and New Media cohort has shown nothing but sheer professionalism and dignity. As adventurers exploring the depths of Australian society through the medium of documentary, from mapping the human experience through narrative, to showcasing the work of other brilliant minds in trailer and music videos; we’ve done it all. Over 40 successful outcomes have come out of this year’s SCP, an unprecedented achievement. However, it is not through the material achievement that this cohort has shone, but through the people that we have become. We are much more than a cohort. We are a family. In times of need, we have banded together. In our creativity we have been groundbreaking. In the face of adversity, we have been fearless. It is without a doubt that the people within these pages are not only some of the most brilliant minds moving into the film world, but also among the best people to do so. It has been an honour to work with you all, just don’t forget to mention us when you win your Oscars. And above all, remember that life is fragile, but you don’t have to live it that way. Lachlan Cunneen, Project Coordinator

Documentaries:The first semester of 2021 saw the film students following the stories and experiences of various members of the community in a non-fictional approach. Throughout the semester we not only advanced our skills but told the stories of local, national, and international subjects. "A taste of Poland"; "Brotherboy"; "Bustard Head"; "Dearly Departed"; "Fitting the brief"; "Meeting Pauline"; "Tourneys and Trebuchets"; "4 Walls"

Narratives: In semester two of 2021, the film students took on narrative short films. Each project has been in development for over a year. From pitching, writing scripts, filming, and spending weeks in the editing labs, we have been through it all and are very proud to present our work to family and friends alike. "Death upon a Silver Scream"; "Gods & Co; Lost Signal"; "Prima"; "The Moon Comes Out"; "True N.O.R.T.H".

Animations: The amination students have been working hard this entire year to present the following projects. From concept art, to modelling, to rendering, the past nine months have kept advancing both the students’ personal and industry skills. The following projects are a display of pure dedication to their craft and love for visual storytelling. "CRUNKO"; "Drop in the night"; "Moonboy"; "Nobody's Home"
