Jordan Le is keen to make his mark on the filmmaking industry from an early age, successfully balancing senior school studies around producing a short film series to promote multiculturalism.
For the year 11 student, a short film series was a perfect way to explore the differing cultural experiences of his fellow students.
It took Jordan 13 months of planning, shooting and editing to complete the six-part series Infinities.
The 15-year-old and his team of Woodville High student producers and actors juggled production meetings, script writing, shoots and editing around their studies and part-time jobs.
It was a journey of self-discovery for Jordan and the students profiled as they learnt about each other's cultural pasts.
"In all of the stories there were aspects [about each other] that we didn't know," he said.
"Both of my parents came over to Australia so we are very culturally conscientious."
Fellow student Shivek Roshan was born in the Tamil Nadu province of India and moved to Australia in 2012.
His family moved Down Under with the hope of escaping local corruption and crime and providing a better future for Shivek.
"I miss all of my friends, all of my relatives and family there," he said.
"It was a big challenge to fit inside the [Australian] culture and talk to people ... I was scared and felt shy."
This project gave Shivek a much-needed chance to talk about his experience.
"I was waiting for an opportunity like this ... and I wanted to hear other stories as well," he said.
"One of the stories was about [a family] from Afghanistan who came here as refugees, how they suffered.
"When I think about that, [it makes me think] we are all lucky to be here."
The short films were a joint project between the South Australian Government, the Australian Refugee Association (ARA) and Woodville High School.
ARA chief executive Kirsten Bickendorf said the project provided the perfect opportunity to develop the talents of young filmmakers as well as share important stories.
"It breeds cross-cultural understanding and tolerance," Ms Bickendorf said.
She said injecting young people's voices into the multicultural conservation was vital.
"This project has really cut through some of the noise about why diversity is so important," she said.Source: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-11-13/infinities-filmmaker-jordan-le-captures-multicultural-spirit/6936194
