Ekkia Evans is an emerging writer and film-maker from the Barossa Valley. Her first short film, ‘The Getaway Driver’ won the Barossa Film Club’s inaugural Youth Short Film Competition in the senior category. In 2023 Ekkia joined the Barossa Film Club to help organise and promote their short film competition and assist with the Club’s website and social media.
In 2022 she participated in the competitive program AFTRS Talent Camp SA, which is a skills development program designed for emerging individuals to create new content and be employment ready for the screen sector. In 2023 she made her second short film with Super 8 analogue film as part of Carclew’s Super 16 Workshop with Bryce Kraehenbuehl. Ekkia also worked as a Production Runner on the short film Dragons Breath (Dir. Melanie Easton, 1st AD James Dubay) in January of 2023.
Barossa Film Club was founded 20 years ago and is still a very active Club, screening unusual and interesting films each month. The Club was founded by Paddy Carter, who almost single-handedly started showing films at the Barossa Arts Centre at Faith College in Nuriootpa each month. These screenings then moved to the College Wine Centre until the start of Covid, which restricted groups of people congregating in a school area, and the Club now meets at the Hall at St Peter’s Church in Tanunda.
