Two winners\u2019 short films – aimed at educating young drivers in Victoria, Australia, of the importance of road safety – have launched on the big screen.<\/p>\n

The Transport Accident Commission<\/a> (TAC) Split Second competition called on aspiring filmmakers and content creators aged between 18-30 to submit scripts for a short film, with a focus on the dangers of driving tired and not wearing a seatbelt.<\/p>\n

Both winners each received a $5,000 cash prize and $35,000 production budget to create their films over the past three months.<\/p>\n

The winning films premiered at Big Plans Melbourne, at an immersive event that showed the dangers of road accidents.<\/p>\n

Winner Rhys Delios Callanan’s film titled Fashionably Late highlights the dangers of driving tired and how a quick pit-stop nap can help reduce fatigue and ultimately decrease the chance of drivers falling asleep at the wheel.<\/p>\n

Animation student and winner Olivia Hartanto\u2019s short film is centred around Captain Buckle, a superhero who raises the importance of seatbelt usage through a witty and comedic story.<\/p>\n

“We’re constantly looking for new, innovative ways to get the road safety message through,\u201d said Transport Accident Commission CEO, Tracey Slatter.<\/p>\n

“It’s inspiring to see the efforts of these two young creatives \u2013 it\u2019s exciting to see those ideas come to life on the big screen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
