HILLS 100
THE ADELAIDE HILLS 100
100 Adelaide Hills locals. $100 each. One South Australian feature film showcasing the Adelaide Hills.
We are making a South Australian feature film called VINES, showcasing the Adelaide Hills, and we would love our local community to be part of it from the very beginning.
The Hills 100 is a community giving circle: 100 Adelaide Hills locals donating $100 each to help put the Adelaide Hills on screen.
When you click Donate Now, you will be taken to our official VINES donation page through the Australian Cultural Fund.
Donate $100 or more and we will add your name to the Hills 100 Honour Roll on this page and include your name in the film credits, alongside the other Adelaide Hills locals helping bring VINES to life.
That means when VINES screens in the cinema, you can sit there with your family and friends and see your name on the big screen as part of the community who helped make the film possible.
All donations made through the Australian Cultural Fund are 100% tax-deductible.
We would also love to hear from anyone interested in the Hills 100, whether you donate, share, come along to an event, or simply want to follow the journey. When you get in touch, we would love to know how you heard about the Hills 100.
This is not about one person doing everything. It is about 100 people doing one small, meaningful thing together.
If 100 Adelaide Hills locals each contribute $100, we raise $10,000 towards the film and create a visible show of support from the community behind a South Australian story.
Welcome from E. Bennett Walsh
It’s my pleasure to welcome you to the community gathering around VINES. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of working across major studios, international productions and independent films in a wide range of cultures and creative environments. One thing has remained constant throughout: meaningful work is only possible when the right people choose to stand behind it.
What Isabelle and her team are building here in South Australia is both distinctive and important. VINES is a film rooted in emotional honesty and a strong sense of place, shaped by the character of the Adelaide Hills and the talent of the artists who live and work here. It represents a mode of filmmaking that values craft, humanity and intention — qualities that resonate far beyond the screen.
Your support makes that possible. Independent film depends on those who recognise its cultural value and who understand the long-term impact of investing in creative communities. By joining us, you are not only helping bring this story to life, but also contributing to a framework that strengthens the future of South Australian storytelling.
Thank you for taking the time to consider supporting VINES. It’s a project I believe in deeply, and I look forward to the opportunity to share its journey with you.
WHY $100?
We chose $100 because it is simple, achievable and powerful when we do it together.
One $100 donation helps.
One hundred $100 donations creates momentum.
And every person who joins the Hills 100 will have their name included in the film’s credits.
So when VINES screens in the cinema, you will be able to see your name on the big screen as part of the Adelaide Hills community that helped bring the film to life.
The Hills 100 is a way for locals, friends, small businesses, film lovers and supporters of South Australian storytelling to stand behind a film showcasing our region.
Every donor becomes part of the story behind the story.
