WAT Shares
The WAT SHARES initiative has now been archived. The team at Wide Angle would like to thank everyone who participated.
WAT SHARES is a time bank for Tasmanian filmmakers to trade their skills and experience.
Wide Angle Tasmania has created this platform to increase opportunities, encourage mentoring and build the creative, professional and business capacity of Tasmanian screen practitioners - without the constraints of money.
WAT SHARES has been devised to capitalise on the Tasmanian screen sector's greatest strength - our people. We are a community of innovative, generous and ambitious makers that includes:
- highly credited and experienced producers, directors and writers based in Tasmania who create internationally recognised works
- a brains-trust of semi-retired industry filmmakers with a wealth of experience in screen agencies, production companies and specialist technical roles
- a strong and innovative group of small production companies and sole traders who are creating Tasmanian screen stories while generating income from varied activities inside and outside the screen sector
- a large pool of practitioners making screen content for purposes that fall outside economic return – including creative fulfillment, activism, art and leisure
- a larger pool of talent drawn from the broader creative sector that supports screen creation in the state – including experienced and talented actors.
Our screen community already shares their time and resources with incredible generosity. WAT SHARES helps to formalise, broaden and strengthen this informal network. It also addresses some of the key challenges and barriers that exist for many filmmakers:
- We have a highly skilled group of screen practitioners experiencing underemployment, with little capital to build businesses, invest in professional development or fund their film productions.
- Filmmakers live in all areas of the state and are often not well-connected to other practitioners. Those fresh out of school or newly arrived in Tasmania need to build new networks in the screen community.
- Many practitioners are reluctant to ask for help unless they can offer payment in return. They may not recognise that the skills they have (social media savvy, energy, enthusiasm, driving, cooking etc.) are valued by those with greater screen experience.
Wide Angle Tasmania's mission is to encourage, develop and support Tasmanian screen practitioners. Time-banking has demonstrable success at building professional networks, stimulating economic activity and increasing confidence and well-being at an individual and collective level (ECHO Impact report 2016). WAT SHARES is a new model for Wide Angle Tasmania to deliver screen practitioner development and create a more self-sustaining Tasmanian screen community.
Inspired by the many time-banking initiatives around the world that trade time, rather than money, the pilot stage of WAT SHARES has been supported by the Tasmanian Community Fund with additional investment from Wide Angle Tasmania.

- Team with at least one member aged 25 or under are eligible to apply for a production grant from Wide Angle valued at $750 worth of equipment hire.
- If you included copyrighted material in your film that you don’t have permission for (eg. music, footage), understand that WAT 48 Hours Challenge may not be able to screen or promote your film.
- You are responsible for your own safety while undertaking the Challenge. You agree to participate with a high standard of professional conduct – this includes complying with all Tasmanian laws and screen industry expectations. You will not engage in any activity that disadvantages any other team or undermines the integrity of the WAT 48 Hours Challenge.
- You cannot enter into arrangements using Wide Angle Tasmania's name or issue public statements referencing WAT 48 Hours or Wide Angle Tasmania without first gaining WAT’s explicit consent.
- By registering for the WAT 48 Hours Challenge 2021 you affirm that you are responsible for all activities associated with producing your film for the Challenge, and that Challenge organisers are not (“organisers” includes staff and volunteers of Wide Angle Tasmania (WAT) and all associated organisations, such as sponsors and presenting partners).
- Wide Angle Tasmania reserves the right to not screen any film that it believes has been produced in an unethical fashion — for example, in terms of ignoring reasonable safety standards, using copyrighted material, or in the nature of the film’s content (for example, something we may not be legally able to exhibit). This is not negotiable.
- Wide Angle Tasmania will deal only with one nominated individual per team. This is the person whose name and contact details appears on the registration form. It is up to each team to determine who ultimately ‘owns’ the film made for the Challenge and any prizes awarded — ie. the director, the writer, or someone else. The festival won’t enter into any discussions about ownership and will consider that the nominated person on the registration form has been empowered to speak to the team in all matters.
- The film you make should be 6 minutes long, or less. If you have credits (recommended) these should be included within that time.
- At least one member of your team must be in Hobart or Launceston on Friday 24 SEPT at 7 pm to receive the prompts package.
- This prompts package will include three things: a prop, a written a line of dialogue and a movie genre.
- The items in the prompts package will be randomly chosen and are unique to your project. You must incorporate all three of these in your film.
- You may make a silent film but in that case you would still have to work out how to incorporate the dialogue prompt.
- The film must be uploaded to youtube or vimeo as a file no larger than 2Gb. You will need to email us the link to your film no later than 7pm on Sunday 26 September 2021. Tech support will be available to help teams between 2 and 7pm on Sept 26.
- In the case of a team of young filmmakers (ie. under the age of 18), an adult must register on the team’s behalf and indicate in the note field at the bottom of the registration form that this is the case. By doing so the adult indicates responsibility for the well-being of that team in making their film for the Challenge and agrees that WAT 48 Hours Challenge organisers (and partner and association organisations) is in no way liable in the event of accident, injury or work practices that contravene relevant regulations.
- The registration fee entitles one member from each team to one ticket to the awards night on October 1, 2021. All other attendees (including those on the team aged 25+) will be charged $10 to attend the screenings.
- Team members aged 25 and under who are named in the registration process will receive a free ticket to the screening

Congratulations to all teams who took up the 48 Hours Challenge and delivered some remarkable films in such a short amount of time!
Some useful tips from Rob Braslin - 48 Hour film Challenge Alumni and Awards Host extraordinaire
Q: Have you ever had a go at making a film in 48hrs?
Rob: “I was lucky enough to be a part of three 48-hour Tasploitation film challenges, which included a creepy voodoo movie and a scary clown movie - wild fun times, my first time acting ever!”
Q: How would you recommend managing your time in the challenge?
Rob: “We had a producer who was making sure we stuck to the schedule. This was great help because 2 days goes fast when you are having fun making something with your friends. I was acting the years I entered, so my day finished after shooting, and the rest of the team who weren't acting packed down and looked over the footage, sometimes without sleeping or eating. Consider having someone in charge to remind you.”
“If something isn't working take a short break, play a game, watch a cat video, make a delicious cake, if you step away for 30 minutes you will come back feeling refreshed. This is beneficial to the final cut, as you go back to creating with fresh eyes and not feel like you are racing against the clock.”
Q: What would you like to see out of the films?
Rob: “I can't speak for the judges, but I would be looking for potential, that isn't always in the more pro looking film, you might have pulled off an unreal shot with a phone cam, an actor might have given a really stand out performance in a movie called Fart Phone (my next film) you might have written Fart Phone so well someone wants to turn it into a feature (I have written it, if anyone wants to talk please reach out).”
Q: What advice do you have for filmmakers entering this challenge?
Rob: “2 days is hard to pull this all off, you aren't probably going to be able everything exactly the way you wanted, and it's okay, you learn so much from doing these things, you get to hang out with friends and meet some other cool creative types, if you have always wanted to be involved in film making this is a great first step.”
“Do your best in the challenge, I expect excellent films! However, the important thing is to have fun and show love to each other. Go forward now, and make the greatest short films made in 48 hours, the power is in your hands.”
Check out some of the great work created by our Under 25 content creators!
The support through Youth Arts provided a number of young content creators to work on the project and support the event. Congratulations to Finn Clarke, Angelica Willis, Sam Tooker, Kate Vosper, Jaxon Bone, Marcus Hortznagel, Max Crosswell and Chelsea Wilde for their work. Thanks to those who acted as mentors, including Catherine Pettman, Jason James, Rose Schramm and Flick Wilkinson.
We are thrilled to introduce our 48 Hours judging panel (starting clockwise from top right) Caitlin Richardson, David Gurney and Monique Brumby!!
Together with our fabulous host Rob Braslin, this is one all-star line up of creatives excited to see what will be produced in just 48 Hours & offer up some tips for what to do when the pressure hitsCaitlin Richardson - “If in doubt, get your characters talking and make them uncomfortable. Relish in their discomfort!”
Caitlin is a writer from lutruwita/Tasmania whose theatre work has been produced in nipaluna/Hobart, Launceston and Sydney, and adapted for ABC Radio National. She holds a Bachelor of Arts with first class Honours in English/Creative Writing from the University of Tasmania and in 2016 her series of plays was nominated for a Tasmanian Theatre Award for Best Writing. She also works as a high school English teacher and is delighted that The Tailings (SBS, 2021) is her first television drama credit.
David Gurney - “Bite off more than you can chew, then chew like hell!”
David is a well-known creator of animated television series and interactive media. He created, wrote, directed and produced Australia's first CGI animated television series, Hoota & Snoz, and has directed and produced eighteen other TV series and a feature length telemovie. David is a co-founder and co-owner of Blue Rocket Productions, a multi award winning animation studio based in Hobart, Tasmania, and is the Acting Chair of Wide Angle Tasmania.Monique Brumby - “Don’t get too far up your own bum hole!”
ARIA award winning musician Monique Brumby stumbled her way into pop stardom at the age of 20. She made such an impression that they named a bakery after her. Her dad was responsible for the hit single ‘Brumby Brothers Hardware’ on the roundabout at Mornington, where all her dreams still come true! Brumby has something to live for with this cool Wide Angle 48 Hour Challenge. She will find it hard to select the winners, so be prepared to get a ‘Highly Commended’!Rob Braslin - “The important thing is to have fun and show love to each other.”
Rob is a Murri writer, comedian and actor from the nipaluna suburb of Clarendon Vale. He started performing stand-up comedy in 2013 and it’s led to all sorts of exciting opportunities in the wonderful world of storytelling. Rob leans into projects that challenge, inspire and educate him; whether it's acting on screen and stage or writing and directing a horror film in his home town. Rob loves making short films and is looking forward to all the chuckles, tears and sighs that your 48 hour masterpieces elicit on screening night!The WAT 48 Hours Challenge is proudly presented by...

community leaders
Call out to organisations to get involved
In 2021 we're showcasing the grit we’ve seen in the Tasmanian community as we rebuild from Covid-19. We invite you to engage your community members to contribute to the GRIT Gallery. It’s easy to get involved and your community will be part of a 2 year statewide art project.
What is the GRIT Gallery?
The GRIT Gallery is an online collection of personal photos, text and video stories of grit contributed by people of all ages from around Tasmania. The stories celebrate the strength and resilience of our people – even when we experience tough times. The stories are personal and are told through:
- Photos with captions
- Short videos (under 20mins) and
- Written stories (under 500 words)
How can our community participate?
- Talk with your community members about the idea of GRIT – when did they (or someone they know) show resilience, courage or tenacity? How did that person show GRIT?
- Check out the GRIT Gallery and see what others have contributed
- Decide whether to tell your stories in a photo, in text or on video – if you have a staff member or volunteer who has some skills then get them involved to help out.
- Checkout the tip sheets, resources an toolkits available to use with your community members – they include some great tips to create powerful stories
- Plan and create your stories – and share them with other project members. Decide which stories to upload to the GRIT Gallery
- Upload the stories to the GRIT Gallery
- Think about other ways to share these stories – share them via social media, create posters to pop up around town or hold an exhibition.
What will participants get out of being involved?
- Have fun and be creative – and learn some photography or video skills
- tell their own story using words, photo or video
- help other Tasmanians understand what it’s like to live their life
- raise awareness of personal and community issues
- be active in shaping policy in their community and state
- have their contribution published online
What will our community or group get out of being involved?
- A fun, no-cost, accessible project that can run for one session or become a much larger scale project
- Showcase the experiences, talents and strength of your community to the broader Tasmanian community
- Be part of a statewide arts project
- Provide a context to discuss resilience with your community
- Gather a wealth of stories from your community members to use in your communications (social media, websites, newsletters, annual reports etc.)
Why would we want to provide our community with an arts experience?
The arts have the potential to bridge our worlds, harness the wisdom of our different views, engage our imagination to explore new ways of thinking, and create experiences that can be shared by all people in our community. Arts-based engagement can promote cooperation, awareness of local issues and the reduction of social isolation, all of which contributes to a shared sense of community pride and identity (The Arts Ripple Effect: Valuing the Arts in Communities).

These two resources are fantastic for any community leader who is keen to help get their community telling their stories using Photovoice as a model. Most Photovoice projects use photos, but the model works really well with video and text as well. You'll find session outlines, templates, tips for using cameras and suggestions for exhibitions.

…Tasmanian spirit on screen
The GRIT project uses story to connect us and improve resilience as we recover and rebuild from Covid-19. The project includes three phases:
1. Community stories of GRIT
Tasmanians from all around the state are invited to share their personal photos, text and video stories of grit. These stories will feature on the GRIT gallery – a treasure trove of how the Tasmanian spirit of grit is alive in our communities.
2. Create and tour films
Wide Angle Tasmania will commission some of our most talented filmmakers to create 12 short films that explore the concept of grit. Throughout 2022 and 2023 Wide Angle Tasmania will present a statewide tour that brings communities together to enjoy the films and celebrate our stories and filmmakers.
3. Using films for social change
The films produced through GRIT are a powerful force for creating social change and building social cohesion in our community. During 2022 and beyond, Wide Angle Tasmania will provide changemakers, leaders and organisations with access to the films and tools to help them effect social change. We’ll also share our stories with national and international audiences through festivals, television and online platforms.
The GRIT project is presented by Wide Angle Tasmania and supported by the Tasmanian Community Fund. We are now in the first phase of the project and invite you to get involved. You can submit your photo, text or film of real people showing strength and determination in the face of adversity. Your story will be published on the GRIT gallery, where we showcase the resilience of everyday Tasmanians - strong relationships, ‘bouncing back’, positive outlook, determination, community networks, hope and a sense of purpose.
If you’d like updates and invitations to get involved and join us at screenings – sign up to the GRIT newsletter here.

films work
‘Films Work’ is a program that supports Tasmanian not-for-profits to use films for social change. With support from the Tasmanian Community Fund, participants will work with Wide Angle Tasmania to learn;
- how to find and use high-quality films to support your organisation’s mission;
- how to create inhouse videos to document your impact and create more engagement on the web and social media; and
- how to work with professional filmmakers to develop compelling stories that connect and engage your stakeholders.
EOI's for 'Films Work' 2022 are now closed.
'Films Work' starts with a 2-day workshop in Hobart. This fast, fun and information-packed workshop covers all the basics for not for profit leaders to use film for social change. During the workshop you will start to formulate the strategy for using films within your organisation over the following 6 months.
Following the workshop each organisation receives six mentoring meetings designed to create an action plan and stay on track to implement your film strategy (including hosting a film screening, creating video content and developing a brief to produce a professional short film). These sessions are provided each month by phone, zoom or in-person and are tailored to the needs of your organisation.
The ‘Films Work’ program requires an ongoing commitment from the participants – but it will produce outstanding results for organisations that are serious about using film to amplify their mission.
WHAT DOES THE PROGRAM COST?
Each organisation contributes $50 towards the cost of the program. Each organisation is required to cover any costs associated with attending the two day workshop in South Hobart (including travel and accommodation if required). Participating organisations will need access to internet/phone to participate in the mentoring sessions.The Tasmanian Community Fund and Wide Angle Tasmania covers the remaining costs of the workshop and mentorship sessions.
WHO IS THE PROGRAM AIMED AT?
This opportunity is open to any small or medium not-for-profit organisation operating in Tasmania. (Using the ACNC definition - a small organisation has annual revenue under $250,000, a medium organisation has revenue $250,000 - $1 Million). Each organisation is required to have two participants attend the workshop (this can include employees, board members or volunteers) who can commit time to develop and implement a strategy to use film in their organisation during 2022.
I’M INTERESTED – WHAT NOW?

“Loved being able to try out skills in real time. Enjoyed the access to the plain English documents and knowing we will have those resources to hand. The session helped us clarify how to scope small and larger projects as well as form a brief to a filmmaker. Loved the speed networking session and viewing different pieces of work. Enjoyed time and space to think how we can make this happen in our organisation.”
– Rikki Mawad – Connect 42
“I honestly loved this workshop! It had such a great variety of things to learn, while being structured, practical and extremely inspiring. Meeting other NFPs and getting the amazing opportunity to network with filmmakers was just brilliant.”
- Jennifer Gason - Landcare
"Very worthwhile investment of tome for not for profits. I can see how beneficial it will be getting our heads in this game better. A big thank you to TCF for once again thinking outside the square for NFP's and allowing access to the gaps in our industry that are so needed."

Industry responds to the review of Screen Tasmania and Arts Tasmania assessment process
Media release issued Sept 22
The Arts Minister Elise Archer announced on Sept 18 that “The Cultural and Creative Industries Act 2017 includes an independent system of peer assessment and expert advice in all funding decisions under Screen Tasmania and Arts Tasmania. However, all grant recipients have a responsibility to ensure they use funding appropriately and within the guidelines of the law. Accordingly, to maintain the integrity of this independent process, I have asked for the assessment process to be reviewed to ensure that illegal activities are not promoted or endorsed.”
