The past and future of Tasmania’s renewable energy mission brought to life in new campaign via The20, Fortress Films and Justin McMillan
The20 and Fortress Films have collaborated to create ‘Powered by Tasmania’, a multi-staged campaign that tells the story of Tasmania’s remarkable energy journey, while sharing a vision of a renewable future.
Says Marcus Murphy, creative director at The20: “The work sets out to tell a simple story in the most beautiful way possible. It’s a story that reminds us all that we’ve done this before, and we can do it again. And it’s not just the convenient parts – a lot was sacrificed, and mistakes were made. We’ve tried to put it all in there, while inspiring our audience to get behind a renewable future.”
Ian Kenny from Fortress Films, led the production of the screen piece.
Says Kenny: “From the moment we received the brief we knew this was a wonderfully challenging project we had to embrace. The logistics, locations and schedule were a massive challenge – that said, Tasmania is truly a wonderfully rich landscape to capture.”
The two-minute hero piece was helmed by acclaimed director Justin McMillan.
Says McMillan: “The20’s creative team had written a beautiful manifesto around ‘Powered By Tasmania’ and we knew exactly the tone of the story they wanted to tell. I’m also an environmentalist at heart, so I found the conflict of harnessing the power of nature to create clean energy to be an interesting juxtaposition to get my head around.”
The campaign will roll out in multiple stages over the coming months, with the next phase being an activation that demonstrates the benefits of electrification to individuals, households and communities.

Did all the workers die in the explosion? Did this actually happen? Was the project abandoned? WHY WERE THEY MAKING A DAM IN SUCH A REMOTE LOCATION? Are dams good or bad? Why were people protesting? Is this ad for or against dams? What’s this ad for? …also for an explorer Eddie looks like he was very well fed.
‘So many Questions’? Have you been living under a stone? Or are you just an idiot?
