With two all-new road safety briefs to choose from, entrants have the opportunity to save lives and make a real impact on road safety.
Developed by the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) in partnership with Village Cinemas, the competition is an exciting opportunity for young Victorians to launch a film career and make a real difference on our roads.
This year’s winner will also score a $70k budget, $5k cash, have their film made by an award-winning production house and screened at Village Cinemas across Victoria.
