So, our Taka idea turned out to be heading to a dead end so we had no choice but to go with a different idea for our documentary. Shushan, our director, had been on a field trip to East Gippsland recently for a school field trip where they were helping the farmers plant some trees around their farmland.
While they were at that, she happened to have a chat with some of the farmers who were involved in this movement called LandCare. From there, I think the idea of shooting a documentary based on the idea of sustainable living came up. We brainstormed on how we could go from here. At first, we were considering driving up to East Gippsland but soon realised that with our time restraint, as well as our lack of access to a car, as the producer, I felt that we were better off shooting something within the proximity of public transport.
That is where Westwyck Village comes in. Owned by owners Mike and Lorna, Westwyck is an eco friendly village in Brunswick. It used to be an old primary school but the owners have turned in into sustainable housing for the public.
It would be interesting to see where we go from here!
