Family and opportunity have brought Mark and Candice Deere back home. The former Maryborough students recently returned to the Heritage City with their daughter and decided to start their own business. For more than a decade since graduating from Maryborough High they have studied, travelled and worked their way through a variety of jobs. They found their niche in the world of film production and have set up their business, 46 Video, in the Globe Business Centre. We put a few questions to Mark.

Christie’s story
One of the toughest things for jobseekers who have been out of work for a while is regaining their confidence. Christie Robinson knows this only too well. Although she was very keen to work, and would be an asset to any workplace, her confidence was low. This, coupled with her anxiety and lack of belief in herself held her back from long term employment. Red Cross Employment Services Pialba began working with Christie, ascertaining what she would like to do, and where she would be most comfortable. Red Cross Employment Services began speaking to employers about Christie’s keen nature, and her valuable experience. One of these employers was Torbay Retirement Villages Limited at Torquay. Torbay was looking for employees to fill domestic roles and asked to meet with Christie. Although Christie was not suited to this particular position, Torbay’s HR Department immediately saw potential in Christie and of offered her the opportunity to take on the role of kitchenhand. Christie’s positive nature despite having low confidence and knockbacks was contagious.

# Where did you both go to school? Candice went to Granville State School then Maryborough High. I went to St Mary’s Primary, St Mary’s High til Year 10, then Maryborough High. We first met at Maryborough high. # Which university? I studied at Griffith and Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT University) Candice studied at University of Queensland. # What did you study and graduate in? I have a Bachelor of Multimedia and a Master of Creative Media (Film & Television Production). Candice has a Bachelor of Social Work. # Where have you worked? While we were students, we both had a number of customer service jobs - the coolest being my job at a cinema and Candice’s job at a video store. After graduating from Uni, Candice worked as a social worker and a teacher aide, while I worked as a photographer, and then a cameraman and editor at a Melbournebased advertising company. We moved back to Queensland in 2010 to run the Brisbane franchise of a successful media production company that specialised in real estate videos. Since 2004, we have also worked on our own low-budget, independent movies. In 2011, one of our scripts won a development grant with Screen Queensland, which allowed us to work as paid screenwriters for 12 months. # Do you have a memorable job experience? Each of our independent movie shoots have had their fair share of awesome memories. Being part of a team, working on a project that everyone cares about is such a rewarding experience. Everyone pulls together and puts in so much time and energy - it is so humbling. We shot our first indie movie in Maryborough and it
Mark and Candice Deere have returned to their home town and started a new business. was one of the most fun, and challenging, experiences we’ve ever had. And even though the finished movie wasn’t very good, we learned a lot and we look back on it with very fond memories. # What is your business about? Our business is about creating corporate videos for other businesses, organisations and community groups. Video is such a powerful tool that can be used for promotion/advertising, internal training and raising awareness in the community. We feel that every business, organisation and group could benefit from using video in a way that meets their needs, and we are excited about exploring the opportunities for video production in the local area. # Do you have a web page for your business? Yes. It is: www.46video.com.au # What potential exists for your business? There is huge potential for us to help local businesses increase their online presence and enhance public perception of their business by using video. Based
on the rapid growth and success of our property videography business in Brisbane, there are also many opportunities for real estate agents in the Fraser Coast to build their reputations by using video to market their properties. We have already done a number of jobs for real estate agents, property developers and home builders since starting up 46 Video. # Do you have any long-term dreams/ goals that you can tell us about? We love making videos because we love telling stories and conveying messages through a visual medium, so our long-term goal is to work on large-scale productions, including movies and possibly television. We would also love to create opportunities for local people to be involved in video productions, because we believe it builds a great sense of community. This is important to us, because our highest priority is our family, and we want to raise our family in a close-knit community, while running a successful business that offers us creative fulfillment.
