The Rain Painting project is a collaborative partnership including Queensland Health, Mununjali Jymbi Centre, Beaudesert youth, the Logan Beaudesert Health Coalition and Teone & Steve Reinthal... all working together to develop useful resources that will help shape community narrative into film projects that contribute meaningfully to the health and well-being of the community at-large. The drama "Rain Painting" is a narrative drama about a series of events unfolding around a group of young adults entranced by toxic features of contemporary American culture.
The companion documentary "Kicking the Can" explores the group's developmental processes as we collaboratively seek to raise and answer questions, generate new stories and offer strong learning outcomes that continue to flourish in the community. These photographs were taken during rehearsals and on location.
