Have you been to @reelgoodau before? If yes, you know what a hoot it is - a full day of world-class shorts, intermittent trips to the bar, and rooftop fun times. If not, well, better late than never. We’re very proud to be helping bring the 2021 festival to you, and tickets are now on sale via www.rgff.com.au.We don’t need to sell it to you - check out the program. It’ll sell itself. And tickets are $5 cheaper if you use the promo code REELKEEN by midnight tonight.Capacity is limited so get in early. And be sure to get tickets to the official rooftop after party too. See you on March the 20th at @lidocinemas xx

Up next in our #meettheteam series is our seasoned producer @jessicagalea. Jessica has been with us a few years now and has worked with us on an extensive array of projects - from narrative series, TVCs, documentaries and social media content.Some of her clients have included @beyondblueofficial, @defeatdiabetesau, @disney @kidsafeaus and @deakinuniversity to name a few. Off the clock, she’s also produced some amazing music videos too (for the likes of @theauntydonnagallery @sexontoastmusic @getitkye @deadletterinsta and @confidenceman_)

A lot of exciting things going on in both the commercial and narrative side of the business. Here’s a sneak peek behind the scenes of a voiceover session we had the pleasure of doing to kickstart an animation series we’re working on. Always a pleasure @itsnatbond @dave_thorno @samuelhuntergalloway @troytopia @wickstudios

It’s been a long year, and somehow our team has GROWN. So, in the name of growth - personally and as a team - we’ll be trickling out some cute little ‘Meet The Team’ loops so you can get to know us... some old faces, some new. All wiser for having survived a pandemic together.
