Forget the Golden Age of Hollywood, film-making is stronger than ever these days. Thanks to affordable camera equipment and instantaneous distribution via the internet, the medium of film is accessible to almost everyone. This means that voices once marginalised or censored have an opportunity to be recorded for broadcast.

This is where Stuff! comes onto the scene. Seven film-makers from Greater Western Sydney were selected and trained over a year with help from acclaimed screen writer and editor Billy Marshall Stoneking and director and writer Amin Palangi. Now seven films are ready to launch and you're invited to check them out in the Lennox Theatre at Parramatta Riverside.

These shorts are tight. Don't expect to see the usual "three minute with a punchline" fare. These are stories sourced from the endless inspiration of family, and each film-maker paints a unique image of their character's place in a world of tensions and conflicting allegiances.

Stuff! is on for one night only, so keep Thursday clear and go to support the next wave of quality Australian film-making.
