My Scholarship entry - Through Local Eyes

I wanted to get out into the bush and show you something you've never seen before. It's an old tradition to go "yabbying" in Oz, so I thought I'd show you how it's done! And I'm a 45 minute drive from the nearest town, so they doubled as dinner.
I know this will be incredibly hard for you to believe, and you will certainly think I am a professional film maker when you watch my video, but I've no experience in film making. That will not be obvious by the artistic longitudinal frame angle I've chosen, nor the highly professional editing software used, but it is true.
I am an actor, so I have spent a lot of time in front of cameras but I really want to move into film documentary. More recently I have been in commercial radio, and presented two networked radio shows daily across Western Australia.
This year I was a finalist in the prestigious Australian Commercial Radio Awards: Best Documentary. I am in pre-production on a 2013 radio documentary that will take place mostly at sea, and I would love to film it for a doco, so this would be a massive step for me.
Ideally I would like to move into documentary film making, so Trent's mentoring would be an amazing leap for my practice.
