Griffith Film School has launched a short film with Children’s Health Queensland that will screen at the Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital throughout the festive season.
LiveLab Creative Director Richard Fabb said the inspiration for the project was the annual short films produced by global retail giants like John Lewis and H&M.
“The Christmas initiative, Joy 2017, is a ‘feel good’ short film that captures the spirit of Christmas, ” he said.
“It will run at Lady Cilento through December and is designed to bring some cheer to families who are spending the festive season at the hospital.
“The genesis for the project was the kinds of films produced at Christmas by major brands like John Lewis, whose latest Christmas film cost 7 million pounds!
“They have enormous reach and impact, and we wanted to replicate that, on a much smaller scale, for the kids and their families.”
