PHOTOPLAY films was launched in 2009 by a group of Sydney filmmakers who wanted a space that would allow them to pursue all the different types of projects they wanted to be doing - TV commercials, long form film and TV series, and art and theatre projects - under the one roof.
Two years later Photoplay represents 6 directors and 6 producers and has already built a reputation for the creative end of TV and film production. Photoplay has produced some fine TVC and online campaigns for the likes of Honda, Myer, NRMA, Solo, Starburst, TAC, McDonalds, Ford and SBS. Work featuring remarkable set design, choreography, visual effects and performance, representing the range of filmmaking talents of our directors. We have also produced a 12-part music TV series for ABC TV and Triple J in 2010 and 2011, turning the Triple J concerts into a popular TV series on ABC2. At the same time we are also working on long form creative content of our own, have produced a feature documentary called 'Hairtales' and are currently developing a number of long form projects. In fact this was one of the philosophies that inspired Photoplay's beginnings: to put back into the creative process and help fund the development of our own TV series and film ideas – currently we are developing 3 comedy / drama TV series and 4 feature films. We just love sinking our teeth into creative ideas, whether commercial or creator-driven!
