Kate Howat (SWIFF Co-Director), Julia Crump (Uki PS Teacher), David Horsley (SWIFF Co-Director) with award-winning students Claudia Watt, Olivia Watt and Luca Szandala.
The spotlight was on Uki at the Nextwave Youth Film Awards, Australia’s largest regional youth film celebration, which was held in Coffs Harbour recently.
The Robbery, a film made by young Olivia, Ben, Luca, Natalie and Charlie was chosen as a finalist in 2020 and this was the film-makers’ time to shine. Olivia and Luca travelled to the event with their families and walked the red carpet with their teacher Julia Crump as the cameras flashed.
Everyone watched with anticipation as their film was shown on the big screen, and it was applauded by an appreciative audience.
