Making It Happen

Ever wondered how you get yourself into a financial mess? Dr Paul Harrison, marketing guru and academic-who-speaks-in-normal-language* from Deakin University, has created a short film about the traps for young (and old) players called 'Making It Happen'. The characters are fictional, but the script is based on real stories by consumers. Check out this trailer, and keep an eye out for the film coming to a short film comp near you.

*Disclosure: Dr Harrison is my go-to guy for consumer stuff. He did some cracking research for the Consumer Action Law Centre about why we think those 'Congratulations: You're Pre-Approved for a Credit Limit increase' letters are such a good idea (and why they're actually not) - you can read more about it in Credit Card Stressbusters.
