Panellists are:

After failing to see disability being represented in Film, Media and Advertising, Emily decided to forge her own path as a filmmaker and actor and she is our very first SF3 Kids Ambassador.
Callum Pritchard – Filmmaker whose credits include 3 SF3 Kids Films, 2 which won SF3 Kids Best Film and 1 which also made the SF3 Gala Finals at the Sydney Opera House. Callum is now studying film at Swinburne University, Melbourne.
