The two short films which MercyCare recently commissioned me to make about their youth peer support program are examples of my consultative approach to film making.

Conscious of the client’s desire to be part of the process, we spent considerable time together working through different ideas and approaches. I also provided ample opportunity for feedback and review,  giving them the opportunity to consult with a large stakeholder group.

I firmly believe that the best work occurs when clients feel supported through the creative process – something which many, if not most, will be unfamiliar with.

Richard guided us through the whole process from concept development to production, giving us the confidence to step into the unfamiliar territory of storytelling through film.  – jo Kirker, Service Designer, Family Community Services
