Making With

This work explores the process of creating a series of three short films for a group of village elders who call themselves “Attitude: Ageing Well in Clunes”, and how my practice changed to align with their philosophy of working “with” rather than working “for.” Using a creative practice research methodology approach, I interrogate my own experience as a filmmaker working with Attitude as I began to develop an understanding of what working “with” in filmmaking might mean in terms of production processes.
