Galari-River Arts Forbes is excited to announce "Just Ad Kids," a dynamic three-day workshop designed to teach children the art of film making.

The "Just Ad Kids" program is a unique opportunity for young participants to dive into the world of media production.

Led by acclaimed filmmaker and screenwriter Dane Millerd, known for There's Something in the Pilliga and Avarice, this program will guide aspiring filmmakers through the exciting world of TV ad creation.

Over three days in the first week of holidays, children will learn all the steps involved in making an advertisement, from brainstorming and scriptwriting to filming and editing.

They'll get hands-on experience in all aspects of filmmaking, including acting, screenwriting, directing, makeup, costume design, hair design, special effects, and more.

The workshop aims to foster creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking in a fun, hands-on environment.

Monica Wren, President for Galari-River Arts, says they're delighted to bring the program to Forbes.

"'Just Ad Kids' is about more than just making a video; it's about giving children the tools to express their ideas and see a project through from start to finish," she said.

"It's about fostering a well connected community and giving our youth diverse experiences."

The event will take place from Monday 29 September to Wednesday 1 October at Club Forbes, and is made possible through the generous sponsorship of Club Forbes.

It's suitable for 10 years and up, and will run from 10am to 3pm daily.

It all begins on Monday, 29 September, with screenwriting, storyboarding and casting.

Day 2 is all about bringing the script to life and it's lights, camera action!

On day 3, the team will bring it all together, finalising and editing for a screening for their families.

This program is free to participate in, but spots are limited, so don’t miss out.

Whether you're interested in acting, directing, writing, or just want to explore the world of filmmaking, Just Ad Kids is the perfect place for you!
