Within the Jacobs Well division we have over the years had numerous Movie Productions filming in our area.
This year, police met up with Reef Break Production Supervisor Touchstone Pictures, Dot Kyle and arrangements were made for Woongoolba State Primary School student leaders to attend Village Roadshow Studios for the day.
We met producers, actors, workers, visited Reef Break stage sets, costume set and visited Sound stage 9, the biggest in Australia.
After a catered lunch put on for us, the students then went off to visit the make up crew, with the crew creating tattoos and prosthesis of scars and bruises actors used on the sets, onto the students.
