HOSPO DRINKING CULTURES

As part of VicHealth’s Men’s Risky Drinking Initiative, Hospo drinking cultures seeks to amplify changes to drinking cultures amongst hospitality workers through a series of short animated documentaries. From a pool of forty people interviewed for the VicHealth research. I re-interviewed five subjects that represented a diverse cross-section of the sector all with passionate interest in creating cultural change in the industry. I developed five compelling animations which are now primarily being used in educational institutions but are available publicly on a purpose built website.
