Short Film - 'Two Way' (Coffs Harbour, NSW)

Our Culture

Added by Desert Pea Media

Description Desert Pea Media is very proud to present a new collaboration with the Indigenous community of Coffs Harbour NSW. Situated on the mid North Coast, on Gumbaynggirr Country.

This production was created in November of 2021 - an outcome of a unique, collaborative creative process between Desert Pea Media, local Elders (Jagun Elder's Group), community members, young people and funded by ETC (a community orientated, not-for-profit provider of employment, and training services).

The overall purpose of the broader project was to facilitate an important, inter-generational conversation about well-being for Original Nations communities. Focusing on cultural identity, education and knowledge transfer and positive choices.

Desert Pea Media projects involve a dialogue-based storytelling process that encourages participants to analyze 'the real', 'the ideal' and 'the bridge'. In simple terms this means critically thinking about how to create positive change for yourself, for each other and for our communities.

Special thanks to Ceharnie Martin, Aunty Jennie Rosser, Julie Powick and Corrinna Dahlstrom from ETC for all of your hard work and support to make this project possible.

Special thanks to all the TO's of Coffs Harbour - The Gumbaynggirr People, and all of the mob in the region that participated, welcomed us and shared their time, their stories and their country for the creation of this production. We are humbled and grateful for your trust and friendship.
