AFTRS students' video goes viral

A film campaign by four students at the Australian Film, Television and Radio School has proved a national success, attracting millions of viewers.

The Sydney students' film for the GetUp! same sex marriage equality campaign has had more than four million views on YouTube.

Graduate diploma students Stephen McCallum, Peter Slee, Julian Shaw and Damian Smith were behind the two-minute film.

Called It's Time, the grassroots film shows a young guy enjoying life with friends and family, at the beach, at Luna Park and celebrating birthdays – all shot by his partner. A clever ending is signed off with the message “It's time. End marriage discrimination”.
