Some of Australia’s most loved film industry personalities have combined to create a compelling plea to act on climate change: These futures aren’t inevitable.

The short feature depicts a three-generation Australian family gathering to celebrate a newly born baby and pondering what the future holds for the child.

It was directed by Rachel Ward, a filmmaker, and regenerative farmer; written by Margaret Morgan, an Australian screenwriter, and novelist with a background in law and science; and starring Rachel Ward, Marcus Graham, Michael Caton, Jenny Wu, Tim Franklin, and Joshua Nichols

Margaret joined Newcastle Live to discuss the project.

Marina Prior joins Tracy Mac as the cast heads into the final weeks in Sydney before moving to Brisbane.

The Lake Mac Autumn Fair is back for its second year with a fun day out for the whole family planned.

We get all the goss.
