Video production

Films for government, health services, community organisations, the arts and business. Made by a majority Aboriginal-owned team on the Central Coast of NSW, and anywhere the story takes us.

Event films

Brand and architectural films

Interviews and podcasts

Short-form for social

Short documentaries told by the people in them, from a legal service on outreach in Jigalong to an artist’s exhibition in Seoul.

Films that let people picture the job and the place. Our series for Wirraka Maya Health Service helps recruit GPs to the Pilbara.

Highlights films, social reels and short films for award winners, cut while people are still talking about the night.

The craft in a building, a product or a business. Hatch Constructions put our film at the centre of its HIA Building Awards entry.

Filmed conversations, lit and recorded with care. We edited eleven episodes of STAUNCH., the Awesome Black series.

Cut-downs and vertical edits from every shoot, sized for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and the web.

Featured film work

Pilbara Community Legal Service, Jigalong

Jigalong is a remote Martu community, hundreds of kilometres from the nearest major centre. We travelled with the Pilbara Community Legal Service team on its outreach run, sat in on workshops and met community members alongside the staff.

The short films show the service at work on Country, where everything depends on trust and on turning up.

How a film comes together

1. Brief

2. Plan and permission

3. Shoot

4. Edit and deliver

We start with who the film is for and what it needs to do. You get a written quote covering scope, crew, timeline, deliverables, review rounds and usage rights.

We plan the shoot with you, and with community where the story calls for it. Who appears, what we film and how it is used are agreed before the cameras come out.

A small crew, led by Luke or Scott. We travel to remote communities, work quietly and keep the people on camera at ease.

Luke edits, and you review the cut over the rounds agreed in the quote. Masters arrive in 4K at 25 frames per second, with HD versions for the web. We keep every file, so you can come back for more.

Questions we get asked

Do you travel?

Yes. We are based on the Central Coast, work across Sydney and regional NSW, and have filmed in Port Hedland, Roebourne and Jigalong in the Pilbara. Travel is set out in the quote.

Do you film in Aboriginal communities?

Yes, with permission. We work to cultural protocols, make time to meet people before we film, and agree with community what can be filmed and shared. Read how we approach it.

What do we get at the end?

Finished films in 4K and HD, plus cut-downs for social if they are in scope. Usage rights are written into the quote, so you know where and for how long you can use the work.

Can you take photographs on the same shoot?

Yes. Scott leads our photography, and many of our jobs come back with both from one visit. See our photography.
