artsbusTV
The show produced by kids & teens
artsbusTV features stories, conversations and creations made by young directors, producers, crew, ‘journos’ and actors across Victoria.
artsbusTV is a series of 30-minute episodes directed by kids and teens across Victoria. Through co-design workshops, artsbusTV offers opportunities for creative expression, connection, mentorship and skills building.
The series is a magazine-style TV show made up of 2-3 minute segments including youth-led interviews, fictional films, and documentary style journalism. The segments provide a starting point for the artsbusTV crew to co-design what will be in the episode and how it will be filmed. For example, young people brainstorm ideas for each segment’s location, scripted questions, and possible guests and film styles.
