What an incredible evening attending the premiere of the Bus Stop Films โKnow When to Hold 'Emโ here in Coffs Harbour!
One of our clients participated in the inclusive film making program for people with disabilities.
If you have an interest in film, storytelling, production, or simply want to be part of a creative and supportive project, we strongly encourage you to look into joining the 2026 Bus Stop Film program. Itโs a fantastic opportunity to learn, connect, and create something meaningful. ๐ฅโจ
