Make a film. Start to finish.

Accelerate is our Short Film Intensive for ages 17–21 — a hands-on crash course where you’ll go from concept to storyboard to shoot to edit in just a few weeks.

Work side-by-side with a professional director and cinematographer as you bring your story to life on screen.
Your finished short film will be submitted to film festivals — and you’ll walk away with a professional credit for your CV.

No experience needed — just ideas, curiosity, and the drive to create.

Spots are limited. Book now at www.qtheatre.com.au/events/accelerate-for-ages-17-21/

Yesterday, Q Theatre was buzzing with energy as we celebrated the incredible storytelling and creativity of local filmmakers at the Snapbreak Film Festival.

From powerful documentaries to bold experimental shorts, each film reminded us just how much talent lives in our community. A huge thank you to all the artists who shared their work, the audience who showed up in support, and our partners who help make events like this possible.

We’re proud of the great artists who connect with Q Theatre. To have two artists return to deliver this workshop was truely magical. Thank you @vonnepat and @natbarrios!

Missed the festival? Keep an eye on www.qtheatre.com.au and our socials for more events and opportunities to get involved.

What a day! Our young Ignite program artists lit up the stage with a festival of short plays, all sparked by their deep dive into realism. From family drama to everyday heartbreak, they brought real stories to life—with heart, grit, and guts. Over 120 people packed the studio to cheer them on. This is what community looks like. Thank you to everyone who came, clapped, and celebrated the power of youth theatre.#Ignite #OpenStudio #YouthTheatre #RealismOnStage #QTheatre #NextGenArtists #PenrithArts

Celebrating the Dean Drieberg Masterclass with Our young BIPOC Artists!

What an incredible experience to have award-winning director Dean Drieberg lead a masterclass with our young BIPOC artists! His generosity, insight, and deep understanding of storytelling made for an inspiring and empowering session.

Seeing our artists engage, experiment, and push their creative boundaries in a space designed for them was a powerful reminder of why these opportunities matter. A huge thank you to Dean for sharing his expertise and to our artists for bringing their talent and voices to the room.
