Ah, where would we be without them?

Our best friends
Media Giants is where it all started, and where we still call home. Sure, their logo green is a little more demure than our festival red, but we still get along just fine. And, just like a few other people in the world, we both really like films.
Melbourne cultural partner
The Australian Centre for the Moving Image is Little Big Shots' flagship venue. It has big screens, comfy seats, friendly staff, an excellent education focus, and it's smack bang in the middle of Melbourne. In fact, this is as schmick as cinema-going gets. We really like it; we think you will too.
Federal government supporter
Screen Australia is a whopping Australian government agency whose aim is to help everyone really enjoy films. We like the sound of that and we like them for helping us produce Little Big Shots.
State government supporter
Film Victoria promotes and supports excellent Victorian filmmaking and events. So do we - what a match! Film Victoria has helped Little Big Shots take to the screen in Melbourne and throughout Victoria.
Local government supporter
Melbourne is the home town of Little Big Shots. It’s also Australia’s second-largest city and a true cultural hub with festivals packing its year-round events calendar. Little Big Shots is delighted to have had the city’s ongoing support since 2006.
Federal government supporter - Latin American programs

The Council on Australia Latin America Relations (COALAR) was established by the Australian Government in 2001 to enhance Australia's economic, political and social relations with Latin America. In 2008, COALAR partnered with Little Big Shots to help tour some great Australian short films for kids to children's film festivals in Latin America.
NSW tour supporter
From Sydney to Singleton, Maitland to Wagga Wagga, Little Big Shots loves heading north and now, with the New South Wales Film and Television Office on board, we hope to travel further and wider across NSW than ever before.
Melbourne accommodation partner
Located just 500 metres from Little Big Shots' Melbourne home at ACMI on Federation Square, the four-star Quest Jolimont serviced apartments are ideally placed for business travellers, shoppers, sporting fans and Little Big Shots interstate filmmakers.
Our yummiest supporter
Popcorn, nah! Choc-top, boooring! Grab yourself a Cheesymite Scroll or a Choc Banana Scone from Baker's Delight and chow down at your favourite film this year. There's nothing like something freshly and locally made especially for your Little Big Shots pleasure.
The Hero Project
Armed with their award-winning Directing the Hero Within DVD resource, the Hero Project has become Australia’s largest digital media empowerment project for young people. By running workshops right across Australia to empower young people and communities to make their own media, the Hero Project has inspired some great short films and Little Big Shots is lucky enough to be bringing some of them to the big screen.
Stop Motion Pro
Make your own stop motion or animated films with this superb software tool. Get your imaginative socks on and see your creations, from clay figures to paper landscapes, come to life. Maybe you could even enter your film into next year's Little Big Shots program!
OPEN CHANNEL
OPEN CHANNEL offers a whole range of support to aspiring and emerging filmmakers. As well as producing their own film and TV projects, they hire out equipment and facilities, and run some great of training courses, including a Young Filmmakers' Workshop during the school holidays.
Icon Home Entertainment
