From discovery to final film.<\/h2>\n

The production is being shaped around real lives, meaningful access and enough time to build trust.<\/p>\n

July \u2013 August 2026: Character discovery<\/h3>\n

Introductions, research conversations, nominations, contributor discussions, location access and story testing. This phase determines the final group of six and the contrasts that will hold the documentary together.<\/p>\n

Late August \/ early September \u2013 November 2026: Principal photography<\/h3>\n

Observational filming across Sydney, following each principal character through the real environments, relationships and turning points that define their story. Filming concludes before the Christmas period.<\/p>\n

December 2026 \u2013 January 2027: Post-production<\/h3>\n

The six narratives are shaped into a single 24-hour arc, followed by picture finishing, colour, sound design, music, captions and final mastering.<\/p>\n

Target January 2027: Final delivery<\/h3>\n

A completed 60-minute documentary, ready for its first audiences and the next stage of its screening, festival, education or distribution pathway.<\/p>\n

Production dates may move slightly where a character\u2019s real circumstances require it. The integrity of the story takes priority over forcing life into a rigid schedule.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
