The course introduces and develops Specificity, Obstacles and Complication, while Justification and Emotional Truth are further developed.

About Filmbites
Founded in 2003 by Hallie McKeig, Filmbites has been in Perth for 20 years. We teach Screen Acting, Filmmaking, Animation and Game Design all across Western Australia.
Our mission is to impart a passion and appreciation of the arts, arming the students with real tools which they can then take with them to keep creating their own stories outside of class.
Our instructors are specialised Screen Professionals with a passion for working with youth, and our courses and curriculum are tailored towards kids and young people. We strive to make our classes supportive and inclusive environments, where we can have fun with and explore the arts without judgement, envy or competition.
While many of our students have gone on to work in the industry – our students and alumni have landed major roles on shows like The Rings of Power, H is for Happiness, The Wilds, Sweet As, and One of Us is Lying, and gone on to direct films shown in festivals around the world – many more have gained important life skills, such as confidence, creativity, and teamwork, as well as a love of the screen arts.
