Don’t party in the car

BUDDING young film-makers have a chance to make a film which will make a difference.
The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) last week put out a final call for young people to help them address the dangers of the ‘party in the car’ mentality through a short film competition.
The TAC’s Make a Film Make a Difference (MAFMAD) competition is looking for two young people to create a short film about looking after their mates on the road.
The TAC’s Senior Manager of Marketing and Road Safety, John Thompson, said when several young people travelled together, especially at night on their way out, the dynamics in the car were often similar to a party.
The best two short film ideas will receive a $20,000 production budget and the help of mentors to produce their film, plus $5000 prize money.
The competition is open to young people up to 25 years old and entries close on 20 June.
