One Giant Leap is an inclusively made, stop-motion animation produced by students from Bus Stop Films. This animated film screens each night during Vivid Sydney at Tumbalong Lights: playSPACE an inclusive playground of light installations at Tumbalong Park in the heart of Darling Harbour.

When a space crew’s lunar mission goes horribly wrong, the team needs to come up with a creative solution to get back home to earth. Astronauts Val, Andy and Elon have crashed landed on the moon. Their ship – the once impressive Endymion – is now barely more than a twisted pile of debris. Before giving in to feelings of dejection, the trio unshackle a moon buggy and start exploring. Is there a way back? Will they see their families and loved ones again? There could be hope… and it’s going to take ‘one giant leap’ of faith.

One Giant Leap is created by students and tutors who attend the Bus Stop Films 'Accessible Film Studies Program', which is delivered in partnership with the Australian Film Television and Radio School. The program is an award-winning film school curriculum for adults with intellectual disability.
