From Sand to Celluloid

The Sand to Celluloid initiative was developed by the Australian Film Commission's newly established ‘Indigenous Branch’ in 1993, which was led by Walter Saunders.

As part of the initiative, ten projects were developed with six selected to go into production. Through this, six First Nations writer/directors received funding to make short films, with the recipients including Warwick Thornton with Payback, Darlene Johnson with Two Bob Mermaid and Richard Frankland with No Way to Forget.
