VICTORIA’S Transport Accident Commission (TAC) is calling on budding young filmmakers to get creative and produce a 45-second film highlighting the importance of careful driving and minimising distractions while on the road.
Thanks to a $50,000 production budget, the winning film will be played on big screens across Victoria’s Village Cinemas and re-shot featuring Australian actor, Firass Dirani in the final production.
The competition, known as Split-Second, is open to Victorians aged 18–25, who also happen to be the most distracted drivers on our roads.
Their film must emphasise the importance of minimising distractions while driving to qualify.
A panel of judges from the TAC and the Victorian film and advertising industry will select a winner who will receive a $50,000 production budget to make their film, as well as $5000 in prize money.
Entries for the Split-Second film competition are now and will close on Wednesday, September 23, with the winning entry announced on October 16. Enter via www.tac.vic.gov.au/splitsecond.
