Films of Resilience: IMPERMANENCE + MESSENGER
Help Ryan Jasper and ÆON VISION produce deeply impactful documentaries of spirituality, culture and human spirit. Funds received will first go towards completing the following two feature documentaries: "MESSENGER (WUNYUNGAR)" One man's walk to heal our land and people. He will make history, but can he make lasting change? Alwyn Doolan is a Gooreng Gooreng Wakka Wakka man completing the longest walk in modern Aboriginal history, from Cape York via Tasmania to Canberra, to deliver three Message Sticks to the Australian Government. This is the official documentary of his story. "IMPERMANENCE" At the world's largest academy of Tibetan Buddhism, three young monks pursue spiritual practice for the benefit of all beings. Under China's modernisation agenda, however, their world is torn down around them, threatening their homes and their lives. Utilising their teachings as tools for survival, their stories reveal the cyclic nature of Tibetan resilience that has sustained centuries.

Wilde Cat Cottage
My mission is to provide safe, humane and nurturing care to the most vulnerable creatures in our world. The ones without voices. Our animal friends. With dignity, humility and grace to provide the best outcome for all creatures. Providing a sanctuary for cats who have found themselves homeless, either through abandonment, abuse, old age, illness, domestic violence or just unfortunate circumstances . I currently rescue street and wild cats and through love, patience, food, more love and bucket loads of trust and respect, show them that humans are kind. They mostly then go on to find loving homes and share their unconditional love. Sometimes though they need to just stay somewhere quiet and safe, with no expectations or demands upon them, and that's just fine with me. I get that. So i have created a sanctuary here where they can live safely and happily. I need to expand the sanctuary as there are currently 60 cats living here. Please help to create an even bigger space, for more cats.

Mercury's Wings Theatre "King Lear - The Storm Within"
Mercury's Wings will be producing "King Lear - The Storm Within" in August 2021, Southport. MW is a not-for-profit company and has been run for 16 years almost exclusively by volunteers (with an occasional grant to pay a couple of weeks). Wherever possible, we reimburse actors for their time by whatever amount we can. We are dedicated to keeping ticket prices low, and hence accessible for our local population. Fortunately we have received a RADF grant $5000 towards actors' time, however there are still costs to cover: temp fencing, technical assistance and administration. Your generosity in assisting us to create sustainable, meaningful theatre in our region with our own local artists is sincerely appreciated. The Regional Arts Development Fund is a partnership between the Queensland Government and Gold Coast City to support local arts and culture in regional Queensland.
