INTRODUCTION
Castlemaine’s own documentary festival, right here on Dja Dja Wurrung Country. I came on as marketing lead for 2026 after a stint as their quarterly sounding board, took on the paid content, and looked after strategy with a push for a younger audience. Regional festivals with this much heart are a joy to work for :)
