Movie stars shine
SEPTEMBER 2023
Students from the Bullengarook campus of Sunbury and Macedon Ranges Specialist School have enthralled Victoria and a film about them has won two awards at the Melbourne International Film Festival. The documentary film, This Is Going To Be Big, won both the Schools Award and the festival’s publicly voted Audience Award in August. The film tells the story of the efforts of students from the Bullengarook school to put on a school production, titled ‘The Time-Travelling Trio’, from auditions to rehearsals to opening night. The play itself premiered to sell-out audiences at the Mountview Theatre in March and follows three students who travel back in time, meeting Farnham at various stages of his career. But it is the documentary about their production journey that has created all the chatter. continued page 3
