AFFORDABLE & ACCESSIBLE SCREEN PRODUCTION

A one stop shop for producing, recording and editing your live and scripted content.

We help Australian artists and comedians bring their visions to life affordably and transparently.

We know how expensive and confusing it can be to engage a company for any part of production process - especially for online projects.

As TV freelancers, online creators and members of the Melbourne comedy community we've seen a gap in the market for affordable, scalable production assistance for independent artists. For most of us simply looking to create well produced online content, the 4K cinema grade specs other production companies insist on are a little overkill. Why pay for expensive camera equipment if a phone will do? Why hire a studio with a grid if a pop up green screen will work? Our difference is we own and have access to equipment across the quality and cost spectrum, and can help advise what would suit best for your desired outcome.

Our costs stay low because in most cases we can deliver end to end production between only the two of us. Sarah has is a 3 time AACTA nominated TV producer and has produced over 100 hours of stand up, while Eddie is the head Digital Producer for Jabra APAC, and we're both Screen Australia accredited editors (including VFX).

We offer a range of ready-made production packages, but please get in touch anytime to chat about bespoke requirements. We're always keen to help.
