Youth Homelessness Question and Answer Panel - Rotunda in the West: Conversations with Australian Personalities

Dear Socially-conscious friends,

I am producing an event to shed light on youth homelessness in Melbourne. We will be filming the event as part of our third series of conversations to be screened on a national TV station later this year, or early in 2015.

Please book early if you would like to share a table close to the stage with your friends and colleges.

Kind Regards,
Emanuel Cachia

Seeking a camera crew and film editor for national TV program

Rotunda in the West is looking for a film and editing crew to produce a one-hour video of a major fothcomming event during May to be screened on a national TV station. This is a great opportunity for experienced and emerging camera technicians and film editors to display their talent on a national stage. 

We are looking for
- 3-4 HD cameras and opperators (who have preferably worked together) to film major rotunda event in the middle of May
- an editor or small team of editors to rough-cut the event into a 40-60 minute filmette that will later be divided into 2-4 episodes and hopefully screened on a national TV station
- a producer to oversee the filming and editing

The camera operators and producer will need to liase with our existing audio team and event organisers.

We are seeking volunteers at this stage, but, with a little luck, it might turn into a monthly paid gig.

We are hoping to fill the positions in the next fortnight and hold a meeting at the venue the following week.

For an idea of the quality and format we are hoping to achieve, please visit http://youtu.be/T2uA58LBZ-o.

Youth Magazine Publishing Opportunity



Do you know a 12-24 year old person living in Melton City Council who might be interested in being published in a magazine that represents the youth of our community and their thoughts, concerns, ideals and life goals? 

If so, please invite them to submit their short stories, poetry, reviews, health and wellbeing articles, photos and artwork for publication in the leading youth publication within Melbourne's West, No Restrictions.

Melton City Council's Youth Services is funding the project and will be printing 2,000+ copies that will be available for free at key locations within our community. We will also be producing an electronic version and hope to place on the iStore and GooglePlay.

An eclectic, talented and enthusiastic group of young Melton City Council residents are making all of the decisions, designing the magazine and contacting printers, etc. My role within the group is to guide them through the writing, editing and magazine production processes, and make it fun!

We meet every week from 4:30pm until 6:30pm-7:00pm in the Taylors Hill Youth Centre internet lounge (121 Calder Park Drive, Taylors Hill). Melton's Youth Services also provides free transport from the Melton Youth Facility (193 Barries Road, Melton). 

If you know someone who might want to join the editorial team, please contact Melton's Youth Services on 9747 5372 or send an email to julianz@melton.vic.gov.au.

A counselor from Djerriwarrh Health Services also attends our meetings and will provide advice on health and wellbeing articles – we already have a few on bullying, anxiety, physical disability and managing exam pressure. Keep them coming!

Thank you,
Emanuel
