Yoobee Graduate Success | Amber Leigh Stevens

We’re getting used to celebrating success at Yoobee School of Design.

The latest making waves is Amber Leigh Stevens who was production manager on the 48 Hours Grand Final Winner, Under The Bridge, by Cool Story Bro Film.

48 Hours is an annual film-making competition where entrants are required to produce a film in its entirety in one weekend (i.e. 48 hours).  They’re provided with some compulsory elements (character, prop, sound effect, line of dialogue) that must be included, and a specific genre in which they must work.

Amber Leigh’s Grand Final winning team produced Under the Bridge, a poignant film about a runaway young boy who befriends a homeless man. They spend the day together before the boy has to return ‘home’.  The team had a crew of eleven and a cast of four, with the film’s Director winning Best Director as well.

The winning film can be viewed online: https://vimeo.com/242493334
