Get behind the scenes of SMASHING

Filmed across various locations, spanning from the Gold Coast – Queensland , to Metro West – Victoria, during a 14-day period, this initiative brought together Feros’ marketing team, Ironbark Films, and students from Bus Stop Films in a collectively crafted filmmaking project.

Partnering with students from Bus Stop Films not only provided students with valuable paid work experience opportunities, enhancing their skills, but also paved the way for individuals with disabilities to advance their careers within the film industry.
