.defence force
A series of short dramas for use with Cadet Units around Australia, this significant project
was commissioned by the Australian Defence Force in conjunction with Marsha Dearden and Associates.
The dramatic vignettes touched on issues that had been identified as 'of concern', including
topics such as "I'm Afraid", "I can't give up smoking", "I won't get into the Air-force",
"My commander is hitting on me"...
The challenge was to develop and execute scripts that would be believable and engaging for
the target audience (broadly 15-21) while stimulating debate and discussion in a way that
would address some sensitive behavioural issues - some trivial, some as important as suicide.
The series of 13 was completed on time, on budget and to the complete satisfaction of the clients.
