THE LONG RUN — MEET THE FILMMAKERS

What does it take to turn an extraordinary sporting challenge into a compelling documentary?

The Long Run follows NRL legend Johnathan Thurston and AFL great Lance “Buddy” Franklin alongside twelve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander runners on a six-month journey towards the New York Marathon. It’s a story of endurance, identity, community and determination.

Produced by Canberra based Good Shout, the documentary debuted earlier this year on the Nine Network and Stan.

Join the ACS ACT Branch on Thursday, November 5th for a special evening with DOP Arron Hage ACS, Director Nico Arganese and Executive Producer Brett Frawley. They’ll present selected highlights from the film and share insights into the creative process, the challenges and the craft behind bringing this inspiring story to the screen.

When: Thursday, November 5th, 2026
Time: Dinner/drinks in the restaurant from 6pm, Presentation in the Function Room from 7pm
Where: The Statesman Hotel, Curtin

An excellent opportunity to hear directly from the team behind a powerful Australian documentary, celebrate outstanding local production and connect with fellow ACS members.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Tania Lambert ACS - GoFundMe donations — Supporting Melvin & Javi after the loss of Tania

Friends are raising funds to support Melvin and Javi following the heartbreaking loss of their beloved wife and mum, Tania.

"Tani was deeply loved. She was vibrant, generous, funny, creative and completely herself. She was someone whose presence left an imprint on the people lucky enough to know her. After a courageous journey with cancer, Tania travelled to Germany to pursue further treatment. Sadly, her health deteriorated rapidly, and she became too unwell to receive the treatment she had hoped for."

"For Melvin and Javi, life has changed immeasurably. Alongside the enormous grief of losing the centre of their family, there are also the practical and financial realities that come with such a profound loss. So, as their friends and community, we wanted to do something tangible to help."

This initiative is seeking to raise $60,000, and with loving support they have so far raised nearly $26,000 in pledged donations.

If you are able to help, please check out this fundraising effort for Tania's immediate family
