don't know where it is? That's cool most don't but if we get behind this project then you will!
Regional Australia has been in decline now for years, decades but not centuries and Dookie is no exception.
It's in the food bowl of North Central Victoria, tucked between Shep and Wang. I only know it because I flirted with Ag science once upon a time and it has the college out there.
Oh shit that's right it also has a train! but that hasn't stopped there since the 50's
Past student, MIFF buddy and friend Alta is part of a creative team that is going to put Dookie back on the map.
A short comedy about the last two citizens of Dookie running a campaign to get the train to stop and 'hopefully' repopulate the town, get it back on its feet so to speak. But Dookie does have real people living there and part of the effort is to raise awareness of their town and I would suggest the plight of most regional/rural towns of Australia.
Concept is good, Team is good and they have some great people getting behind the film.
They're running a crowd funder at the moment on Pozzible if you feel so inspired.
