Little Big Shots Stand Up to Bullies

WATERLOO pupils will become movie stars when their DVD Good Dog Bad Dog tours the country as part of Little Big Shots, the largest film festival for kids in the Southern Hemisphere reports the Central of 18 June 2008.

The film, by Our Lady of Mt Carmel Primary School pupils, was made as part of a 10-week program led by community artist, Claire Wildish. The project was funded by the Lord Mayor Clover Moore's MP Salary Trust as part of The Factory Community Centre's anti-bullying/ cruelty to animals program.

The film will be shown at touring venues including The Studio at the Sydney Opera House in September.

Good Dog Bad Dog will also be part of a local stories exhibition, opening next month at Waterloo Library.

Other local projects helped by Cr Moore's Salary Trust included a Young Mothers Program at Come In Youth Centre, Paddington and $20,000 for a project supporting socially isolated Chinese seniors in the city through the Chinese Australian Services Society.

"My fees are paid directly into the Trust and used to fund innovative projects that enable people to rebuild their lives, help those who are socially disadvantaged, assist the homeless," Cr Moore said.
