Video Launch: No Worries, Have a Drink - March 6, 2014

On Thursday March 6, The Couch was the venue for the world premiere of "No Worries, Have A Drink". A short film directed by Catherine Simmonds, and filmed and edited by Wilari Tedjosiswoyo. The video was brought to you by AFIS in partnership with Multicultural Centre for Women's Health (MCWH) and Turning Point Alcohol and Drug Centre,


From the AFIS Website: "Come one, come all, come and see what was created from interviews and acting done by many international students, expressing their views of drinking in Australia"



At The Couch, chairs were set up like a theater around the TV, and soon the organisers were welcoming everyone and introducing the video.
