One in Six - Trailer

‘One in Six’ documents Janine and Shimon Davidowitz as they embark on the emotional journey through IVF. The film was broadcast on ABC's Compass in June 2022.

The film is designed to help de-stigmatise infertility and raise awareness about a topic that affects 1 in 6 couples throughout Australia. ‘One in Six’ documents Janine and Shimon Davidowitz as they embark on the emotional journey through IVF.

Most people don’t realise how difficult the miracle of creating a family can be. This film aims to spark that conversation and give strength to other couples who are going through a similar journey.

Gone Too Soon - Short Documentary

Told through the lens of Christelle, ‘Gone Too Soon’ is a deeply raw and emotional search for healing and answers - a mother’s cry for help in navigating this dark and unchosen future, whilst trying to carve out a legacy for her ‘Angel child’, Lexi.

It is widely accepted that there is no greater loss than the loss of one’s own child. Whilst we accept that death is an inevitability of life, it is only in our darkest nightmares that we imagine laying to rest our own offspring.

In speaking out on film, Christelle hopes to break the chains and the stigma associated with losing a child by exploring the paths taken by other bereaved families. Through this process, she seeks healing for herself, her family, and the wider community.

This short documentary explores what really happens when a family loses a child. Beyond the immediate devastation, what happens in the days, weeks and years that follow?

Rike Like an Anzac - Trailer

‘Ride like an Anzac’ is a 27 minute film inspired by the 100th Anniversary of the Battle of Beersheba in 2017. The film was broadcast on ABC's Compass in October 2019.

The film combines the stories of participants in the Light Horse Reenactment and the ‘Ride like an Anzac’ commemorative bike ride tracing the Anzac Route taken by the Light Horsemen 100 years ago. Two different initiatives, brought together to honour the memory of our Anzacs, from all backgrounds.

The film weaves the history with what country and values mean to a diverse group of characters that went to Israel in 2017 and its continuing impact.

The film explores the strong relationship Australia has to Israel through the story of the Battle of Beersheba, and unlike commemorating the defeat at Gallipoli, we illustrates how the important Victory at Beersheba (the greatest victory of the Anzacs), played a pivotal role in the outcome of World War I as well as shaping the Middle East of today. ‘Ride like an Anzac’ also helps acknowledge the Australian Indigenous involvement in war.

Disrupted - Trailer

Australia should be a nation of risk takers, free from the stigma of failure, rewarded for it and, encouraged by our policy makers, academic institutions and industry to investigate and innovate. Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull MP, 2015

‘Disrupted’ is a 27-minute cinematic documentary highlighting Australia’s drive to change and broaden its own unique agile, disruptive and innovative identity. This is an Australian story, expressed through the inspirational voices of Australian ingenuity. The characters share their passionate vision for Australian entrepreneurialism, innovation and their creativity in this space. Together with like-minded individuals in government, think tanks, academia and business, in Australia and Israel and Singapore, the audience discover their vision for a re- invigorated and thriving economic Australia.

Disrupted showcases two foreign ecosystems, Israel, a country with the largest number of start-up companies in the world and Singapore, rated as the 10th best ecosystem in the world and follows Australian entrepreneurs and startups to both countries to explore what it will take for Australia to find its own place in this dynamic landscape.

The narrative is dynamically realized, with sharp cinematography, time-lapses, and an up-tempo, quick and sure-footed rhythm. The aim is to educate an Australian audience about what innovation and entrepreneurialism means and showcase what Australia is beginning to do in this space.

It Takes a Village - Teaser

‘It Takes a Village’ is a 27 minute cinematic documentary based on the CEO of Gennarosity Abroad, Genevieve Radnan. The film was broadcast on ABC's Compass in October 2019.

Genna, as she likes to be called, was deeply moved by the plight of women and children in Kenya. After witnessing the terrible conditions and cycle of poverty they experience, she was motivated to create a charity that helped solve this problem.

Gennarosity Abroad was set up to provide education and training to women and empower them through financial independence.

Over the last 10 years, Genna has raised over $300,000 for her organisation through many charity events and initiatives. Throughout this journey, she has inspired many children to get involved in her work and gain a greater perspective of what it means to give back and experience the power of building and pursuing a dream.

Her first achievement was setting up Karunga’s Emanuel Kindergarten; a kindergarten that initially housed 18 students in a small shack made of cardboard and wood, which has now been developed and houses up to 45 students.

Concurrently she set up Grandma Jenny’s Training Centre, where five teachers, equipped with manual sewing machines, teach women literacy in English (and Swahili), health, sewing and tailoring.

To date, 150+ students have graduated from Grandma Jenny’s. Many of these women have opened their own businesses and have travelled from the village for the first time. The most exciting outcome is the women can now feed their children and give them a proper education.

The film explores Genna’s life in Sydney, how she got to where she is today and the lead up to her next adventure in Kenya. The film follows her journey to Kenya and highlights the various projects she has created. Along her journey, Genna connects with some of the women and children who have become part of her story.
