Produced as the first instalment of ‘Reframing Attitudes’ - an online & digital campaign by The Achieve Foundation, an initiative by Achieve Australia, we were engaged to produce this short documentary film on Dr Dinesh Palipana OAM and his insight on how we can reframe attitudes and work towards a more inclusive society. Filming took place at Griffith University Gold Coast Campus in July 2024.
