We've been regularly filming with the ABC for That Pacific Sports Show and last week we got to shoot with the indomitable Millie "Mayhem" Saul from PNG. What a powerhouse!

Thanks to the ABC Team and story producer Ali Almond for the opportunity.

We're stoked to be sharing the first episode of this web series that we've been working on with Triple A.

2 Black 2 Strong was created by Dewi Wilson with writers/actors Tibian Wyles and Leonard Donahue and was filmed on Yuggerah land around Magan-djin (aka Brisbane).

The Article One team produced the series with producer Karina Hogan, provided filming services at 14 shoots and then finished off the episodes Dewi had edited with colour grading and sound mastering and design.

We hope you love this series as much as we enjoyed being involved in its production. Follow on Instagram and here on FB to see the remaining 9 episodes of this hilarious series.

So interesting being in front of the camera! Yep, it's my first time...

At the moment we're filming for a new doco funding pitch on housing affordability. Stay tuned for updates!

Over the past few months we've been working with the Granite Belt Neighbourhood Centre to create a set of road safety resources to support Pacific Islanders moving into the region. So far we've recorded Bislama and Samoan and over the next week we'll be recording the remaining languages. We're excited about how the video has turned out and are looking forward to sharing it with the community.

An update from our Three Quarters documentary project on mens mental health and su***de prevention in Warwick, Qld

Tomorrow is the final day for our crowdfunding campaign to support the making of Three Quarters, a feature documentary on men's mental health.

And for this final post I thought I'd just share photos of some of the people our four main characters from Warwick, Qld have been engaging with to discus how mens mental health can be supported differently.

This project truly has been a whole-of-community collaboration, brought together through real relationships and a shared interest in a better future. A future where more cultural and community-led approaches to supporting mental health are resourced and valued. A future where health professionals genuinely work together with communities and advocates. A future where our mental health journeys are shared more openly so we can move away from the shame and stigma that often comes with them.

From the Three Quarters team big thanks for those who have supported this fundraising and those who might jump on in these last 36hrs. Thank you so much for taking the time to engage and share what we're doing. And we look forward to sharing this film with you later this year.

With your support, we can FIX IT TOGETHER.
