Fertile Films

Fertile Films produces commissioned films mostly for not-for-profit organisations and government as well as developing projects for television. Proprietor Sarah Barton has a particular interest in making films that advance the rights of people with disabilities.

In 2010 Fertile Films’ proprietor Sarah Barton was awarded a prestigious Churchill Fellowship and travelled to the United Kingdom, Geneva and the United States to research and record interviews for a documentary about the history of the disability rights movement. You can read Sarah's Churchill Fellowship Report here

Since completing the Fellowship Sarah has teamed up with producer Nell White to produce a transmedia documentary.  The project is called Anyone Anytime and consists of a linear documentary, an online doucmentary called Weird and Wonderful and an educational outreach program.  This doucmentary is currently seeking finance and has tax deductible status through the Documentary Australia Foundation.  Potential supporters can email us for a detailed project outline.  For a taste of our disability rights approach visit www.weirdandwonderful.net

The 2010 documentary More Than Horseplay can now be see online via The Age TV.  Click here to watch the movie
