Bus Stop Productions, Student Film Makers

Hi! We are Bus Stop Productions. We are a group of teenagers from Wellington, New Zealand who make films. We called ourselves Bus Stop Productions because we started to notice that many of our films feature a bus stop. And we believe a Bus Stop is where you wait for something to come, and we are constantly waiting for the next project that we can throw ourselves into and the people we can meet. The video above is called Retrospect. We entered this in the 2018 Roxy5 competition, and it received best music and best costume.

Finn Culver and I, Grace Medlicott, are cousins and we started making films at age 8 on our phones and using Imovie, and as our skills increased so did our venture, we now have 20+ people part of Bus Stop Productions who love it as much as we do.

We have won various competitions, such as the 2017 Roxy5 short film festival, 2018 Canberra Short film festival under 18s, and have made a film for the New Zealand Office of Film and Literature Classification.

We are currently preparing for the New Zealand 2019 48 hour film festival, where we make a short film in 48 hours, which is an insane feat considering it normally takes us well over 150 hours to make a 5 minute short film.

To do this, we need you. We have to pay the entry fee of $250, props, costumes, and feed our 17 wonderful people involved in the process. If you could donate whatever you can it would be greatly appreciated, we need every cent we can get. Whatever we don't use in 48 hours, we will put towards whatever our next project is.
