Johanna Garvin
Filmmaker, Advocate & Communications Officer Create NSW
Johanna Garvin completed a Bachelor of Communications and Media at the University of Notre Dame Australia in 2016. She majored in Film and Social Justice.
In 2015 she completed a Diploma of Screen and Media at Metro Screen, which enhanced her understanding of telling stories though film and developed her understanding of important skills, including producing, directing, writing, editing and working collaboratively with a team. In 2016 Johanna did an intership at Screen NSW with the Production Attraction Incentives Team.
In 2017 Johanna’s short film, The Milky Pop Kid - made with funding from Information and Cultural Exchange, Accessible Arts and Screen NSW – was selected to be screened at the Sydney Film Festival, it was Highly Commended and was shown as part of Screenability. The comedic film, made as a ‘mockumentary’ was also selected for the ReelAbilities program in New York City and the Other Film Festival in Melbourne. That same year Johanna started working as the Communications Officer at Create NSW.
Film has been a passion for Johanna since she was a small child. At an early age she discovered the black and white movies of Shirley Temple. This passion continued when she discovered the movies of Elvis Presley – her favorite star. She is still an avid film goer.
A wonderful university lecturer also opened her eyes to documentaries. The documentary format was briefly explored as a media student, where she investigated and featured some important social issues. Although Johanna has embraced the comedy/drama film style, the documentary is something to be undertaken in the future and she certainly has several ideas and lived experiences to share in the documentary format; including her trek to the top of Mt Kosciusko, her semester as an exchange student in Minnesota and her participation in the World Marathon Challenge – traversing seven continents in seven days, making her the first wheelchair competitor to undertake this grueling challenge. Some of these were undertaken as an ambassador and board member of the Cerebral Palsy Alliance.
Johanna sees filmmaking as a vehicle to share stories. Her commitment to Social Justice strongly influences the themes of her films. Johanna’s goal is to share unique and interesting stories that tell us about the human condition, the differences and similarities; the challenges and successes; the good, the bad and the ugly. With this passion she hopes to give audiences films which provide a more compassionate lens through which to see the world.
Lewis Smith
Bus Stop Employment Member
My name is Lewis Smith I'm 22 years old and I was diagnosed with an intellectual disability during my early years of schooling. I've always been a creative person and grew up loving pretend-play games where I practised different scenarios and experimented using different commentary!
Developing my creativity and imagination through play supported my communication skills and improved my language ability.
Having joined Bus Stop Films in 2022 I have learnt many new skills about filmmaking, producing and working on set has built my confidence to continue to look for work in the industry and further develop in the workplace.
Having now worked on three short films a feature-length film and a TV production called “Thou Shalt Not Steal” which is due to drop on STAN in October this year - I am convinced this is now my career pathway.
I also produce and direct my own podcast which is uploaded to Spotify and YouTube every fortnight the podcast is called Twin Times Podcast.
In 2023 I was selected by the Hon. Amanda Rishworth (Minister for Social Services) to be an Ambassador for International Day of People with Disability. This enabled me to represent the disability community nationally.
It was a privilege to attend Parliament House in Canberra and share my story with two local newspapers the Bunyip newspaper and the Leader.
Working with BUS STOP FILMS and embracing the opportunities available to me has build my confidence and self-acceptance, I am now embrace my abilities and challenges rather than disguise them.

Bus Stop Employment Member
Stephanie Begas is a young filmmaker who has been a student at Bus Stop Films for the past three years, working on various short films and documentaries, some of which have gone on to receive awards.

Whilst there is a long way to go in terms of disability representation in the media, Steph is determined to make a difference.
On top of her filmmaking work, she has also delved into journalism and has enjoyed it immensely, whether it be researching topics she feels passionate about for hours or asking the big questions. She recently spoke at the Australlasian CHARGE Conference about her experiences living with CHARGE Syndrome whilst working in the film industry
Charlie Smith
Bus Stop Employment Member
Hi, my name is Charlie Smith, and I will be a guest speaker at this year’s Driving Change
Summit
A little bit about me.
When I was little, I was diagnosed with a Mild intellectual disability. In my early years of
school, I needed some support in the classroom to help me learn – I often felt different from the other kids which wasn’t easy! But over time this made me stronger!
During my time at school, I struggled with literacy until I discovered an enjoyment of reading lyrics, practicing reading songs helped my literacy levels improve this eventually led to reading and writing screenplays.
After high school, my brother and I took part in an inclusive filmmaking course called “Bus Stop Films”. Through their employment program, I was able to successfully gain paid employment with Ludo Studios and work on the television production Thou Shalt Not Steal. Last year Minister for Families and Social Services Amanda Rishworth nominated me to be selected as an Ambassador for International Day of People Living with a Disability. This was an incredible experience to be invited to Parliament House for the IDPWD gathering to celebrate and share stories with like-minded people and other IDPWD representatives.
Meeting Curt Fernley and the Minister for the NDIS Bill Shorten was a huge highlight.
Taking part in an inclusive filmmaking course helped me to shift from keeping my disability invisible to openly sharing my journey. I now have a willingness to be open about my experiences which I hope will motivate other individuals facing similar challenges.
