‘A ’ was aimless, but not now. Now he works for a pretty good hourly rate in a highly skilled profession, which if he did want to keep going and go and work in the film industry that’s a possibility for him, but that’s not the sole purpose of the program. It’s not about skilling peopleup to send them out of community because that doesn’t work for most of the kids that I’ve seen. It’s about saying that with these skills you can find ways to be useful in your own community, it’s about community viability’ Fleur Parry, Djilpin A rts. 2008
