Kelsey Munro and Claudia Karvan discuss their journey of introducing climate storylines into season 4 of the acclaimed Stan series - BUMP.
BUMP co-creators Kelsey and Claudia sat down with SSA's Tessa de Josselin to share why they acknowledged climate change in season four and how they went about tackling a tricky subject on-screen.
For Claudia, the turning point was attending Groundswell Giving's climate fellowship on Heron Island along with Tessa, where she learnt her biggest superpower as a storyteller is to talk about the issue with hope.
The pair also discuss the reception they received from audiences and networks and the fun they had incorporating this new element into character arcs and storylines!

As storytellers, our creative voices are uniquely placed to inspire audiences globally. Whether it's through characters, themes or the story itself, sustainable actions that feature on screen have the power to influence positive behaviours off screen. And it doesn't need to be dry or boring!
This workshop will show you simple and fun strategies, ideas and approaches you can bring to your own genre of work. You'll even develop your own climate lens to appraise content by.
