Did you watch the Focus On Ability Awards livestream?
It was exciting to be a part of the red carpet awards day for the Focus On Ability Film festival and hear my name being called out as one of the top 5 as selected by the judges in the Australian open category. You can replay the livestream. Although we didn’t win the excitement hasn’t stopped there.

The very latest news as of this afternoon is that my short stop motion film F.O.A. will feature as part of the (IDPD) International Day of Persons with Disabilities programming on SBS on Wednesday 3rd December.
9-9:30am Anja Christoffersen will showcase International Documentaries.
9:30-10am Breanna Medcalfe will showcase School Documentaries.
10-10:30am Nathan Tessman aka MC Wheels who performed at the red carpet awards day will showcase Australian Documentaries.
10:30-11am Emma Tomlinson will showcase International Short Films.
11-11:30am Anja Christoffersen will showcase School Short Films.

That last category is the one my film is in but I’ve been told “F.O.A.” is featuring in the hour long special from 4-5pm.
If you are busy at that time or not within Australia to watch it you should be able to watch it live online, or watch the replay at a later date https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand
