A Bright New Day in Invermay
St Finn Barr’s Catholic Primary School and Invermay Primary School collaboration with Action Crew.
An important part of every Learning Site is a student-led film project with the local school students, facilitated by Action Crew and produced by the Community Connector. The short ten minute film captured stories, connections, and hopes of the Invermay community in an interview style. The film was made over three days in a pop-up studio at Invermay Primary School with Evi and David from Action Crew who mentored grade five and six students from Invermay Primary School and St Finn Barr’s Catholic Primary School.
Action Crew inspires positive change in young people by feeling respected, active, visible, and valued in their communities. Evi and David guided the students through the process of how to create a short film, from script to production to using a simple setup in a pop up studio within the school. The film was launched in May 2023 at the Nuala O’Flaherty Auditorium at the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery. Watch 'A bright new day in Invermay' by pressing play below!

As part of the Mowbray Learning Site, the following 'Dear Mowbray' short film was created.

The Ravenswood Reporters
As filmmakers we believe in the power of stories. We need stories like we need sunshine. They weave our lives together. They turn away our fears. We interviewed incredible people. Their stories all tell how Ravenswood has the heart, guts & courage to turn its potential into reality.
