‘Short Changed’ – Focus on Ability film contest
In 2016 WCLP participants created a funny and heart-warming short film called ‘Short Changed’ – a story about finding love and local community life, filmed in and around Bondi Junction.
‘Short Changed’ was one of nine films that was featured in a documentary, aired on SBS. It qualified for the International Focus on Ability Film Festival 2016. Congratulations to WCLP’s member Dina Franks who won the 'Best Australian Actor with a Disability' award. Dina shines in her film about love, loneliness and acceptance.
