Help Bring The Flutter Folk To The Big Screen
The Story
Banding For Good is a short, 15-minute Bond University Graduation documentary about Khaléla Romano, manager at The Flutter Folk. In late 2020 Khaléla had a great idea to bring creatives together through music, which led to her building a successful and charitable project in the midst of a global pandemic.
With music venues shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, creatives such as performers, photographers, videographers and venues have all been left with no work.
After noticing the harsh effects it was having on the industry, Khaléla launched The Flutter Folk, a self-lead initiative to bring together musicians, photographers, videographers, venues and even merchants through COVID-safe live-music events held in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane.
Her events all tell a different story, and she’s passionate about locals acting together to make a greater difference in the world. Khaléla’s business model sees over 50% of profits from the events donated to selected charities for most of the events she runs.
Banding For Good follows Khaléla’s story, what inspired her to start such an ambitious project with no prior event management experience and how her events have helped the charities she has generously chosen to support.
The Passion
Director, Liam Eugarde, is a current Bond University student in his final year at Bond University. After graduating high school, Liam went on to start his own freelance photography and videography company, specialising in live music and event photography and videography. As the COVID-19 pandemic began to worsen, governments imposed harsh restrictions on live music venues and Liam realised that work was disappearing.
Liam saw what was happening to the industry around him, and knew he needed to shine a light on it. After being approached by Khaléla to shoot one of The Flutter Folk’s events, he knew right away that she and The Flutter Folk had an amazing story to share.
