TURN UP THE VOLUME
Turn Up The Volume. Produced by Matchbox Pictures and Film Camp, the ten-part series follows a group of young female and gender diverse teenagers who start a band at a music camp held in Melbourne’s vibrant inner west.
Inspired by Film Camp’s coming-of-age documentary No Time For Quiet (directed by Hylton Shaw and Samantha Dinning), which follow the first Girls Rock! Camp in Melbourne, Turn Up The Volume explores the power of music, friendship and creativity as forces of transformation and connection. At first disillusioned and disconnected, this group of young teens join together to discover the strength to define themselves on their own terms, and find belonging in the embrace of community.
Turn Up The Volume is a Matchbox Pictures and Film Camp production, produced by Philippa Campey and Rachel Davis and executive produced by Matchbox Pictures’ Amanda Higgs and Margaret Ross for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). Major production investment from Screen Australia and the ABC. Financed with support from VicScreen. Matchbox Pictures is part of Universal International Studios, a division of Universal Studio Group.
