In 2020, Bridging the Gap Foundation ran a very succesful campaign, raising $10,000 for for Menzies School of Health Research trainee Zoe Fitzpatrick and her brother, filmmaker Chris Fitzpatrick to produce a film project.

Zoe and her brother travelled to Borroloola to produce an educational video on traditional Aboriginal medicine. The video was set to premiere as part of the Alice Springs NAIDOC Week celebrations in July 2021, but this has been postponed due to the COVID-19 lockdowns.

The short film is titled "How to be Healthy - Blackfella Way and Whitefella Way" and explores Aboriginal health traditions and the westernised way of healthcare, recognising the need to bring both together.

It is hoped to be able to produce the film in multiple languages for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people to provide a more in-depth understanding of Indigenous health traditions which are not very well understood outside of Aboriginal communities. 

Bridging the Gap Foundation looks forward to announcing a new date for the premiere!

Momentum2 was tasked with securing coverage of Lisa’s book, with pieces published in Travel Play Live, Where Wild Things Roam, Sunshine Coast Daily, and interest secured with ABC 7.30.

Following the success of the festivals in 2019 & 2020, Willoughby City Council’s Lunar New Year celebrations returned in 2021 with the exciting and immersive Chatswood Year of the Ox Festival. Taking place from February 3rd to 28th, the festival was named after the lunar zodiac sign, and featured a number of COVID-safe events.

Momentum2 was engaged by Willoughby City Council to conduct media outreach for its Chatswood Year of the Ox Festival. Momentum2 developed a targeted media relations program that was implemented in the lead up to, and throughout, the festival. The result was widespread coverage across a broad range of media including securing coverage in a range of new publications, which reached new audiences for the festival. Coverage was across television, radio, print and online publications.
