About Us
Herberton Pocket Films (HPF) is a not-for-profit organization committed to collecting and sharing stories of life on the Atherton Tablelands, using the medium of film shot on mobile phones. It all started over a glass of wine between a few friends talking about the need for more creative outlets up here on the Atherton Tablelands.
