Since February 2024, a remarkable project has been underway at Brightwater Redcliffe: a group of residents have come together to create their own film.

Capturing life in their home in a project that was about much more than just making a video. Inspired by the UN’s Decade of Healthy Ageing initiative, which aims to enhance quality of life for older people globally, Brightwater Redcliffe's residents embraced their new roles as storytellers, scriptwriters, and filmmakers.

The Redcliffe Resident Video Project wasn’t just an exercise in skill-building; it was about fostering a sense of purpose and connection. Residents contributed to something meaningful, strengthening community ties and building a legacy that would inspire others.

This project not only underscored the power of storytelling in community building but also demonstrated that age is no barrier to creativity and connection.
