My name is Patrick Mazzolo. I am 18 years of age and I have recently completed my Higher School Certificate.
My film 'Celebrating As One' portrays the 'Reel Australia' through the voice of John (played by my friend Graeme Poleweski).
John, a laid-back, proud and patriotic Aussie, showcases 'Who We Are as a Nation' through his reflection of the values that Australians uphold, the main one being Unity. He emphasises the fact that although we live in a large country with a small population, our regard for mateship and harmony bonds us together.
His colloquial language and dress consisting of shorts, a singlet and thongs represents the real Aussie who is always ready to celebrate with friends over a beer and a barbie. John's 'clones' are also symbolic of our country's sociable attitude, conveying that celebrations within Australia are always shared.
