Hi. What’s your story? Let’s make it a film.
We’re open to a range of different projects from short doco films, promo videos and music videos including brand profiling and story-based films for individuals, organisations, groups, schools and companies.
We’d love to make your film more than just visually beautiful - one that really connects your audience to your key messages, or for a social change campaign, a story that helps bring that ‘shift of perspective’ across. We aim to make you feel comfortable and confident in interviews to capture authenticity and a strong message. Each story is unique so we like to work with you to explore the options of how to best capture your story. We usually come in teams of 1-2 crew, or more depending on your project. Drop me an email with some details about your story idea or project brief and let’s chat about making it a film!
CAPTURING THE STORIES OF YOUR BRAND
BRAND PROFILE | TESTIMONIAL | COMMUNICATIONS | PROMOTIONAL | EVENTS
What do you need to communicate for your brand, business, organisation, school or music group? For your online presence, videos can help a lot with communications! It can be a chance for you to get face to face with your audience as you get them on board with your vision or showcase your work and news. When you get it live-streamed or filmed to share online, you’re welcoming your whole online audience to share the experience too. You might even want to capture the feedback of your audience sharing testimonials. Whatever you’re looking for, we’re intentional in the planning for getting your key messages across and our filmmaking approach has often overlapped with branding development too, when needed.
“I have had the pleasure in working with Angelique in quite a few video projects and she never fails to deliver. Her attention to detail, professionalism and storytelling ability is exceptional. Angelique recognises that to bring a story to life, you need to understand the brand, the purpose, the expected outcomes but most of all the emotion and passion. I would highly recommend her for her outstanding videography and production skills.”

THE WALK - 35 min
Orphaned when their biological parents died tragically, Meseret Cohen & her siblings were given to an orphanage in Ethiopia, a country with a history of famine, war, and instability. At the age of thirteen, her prayers were answered when she was adopted by a family in Busselton, Perth Australia to start her new life. Many would see this as redemption, but the walk to discovering her true self has just begun. Her resilience & courage to keep going has inspired many, this viewing is not to be missed!

“I love the process of capturing a story. From the interview stage where we hear all about it and guide along the way... all the way through to filming it and bringing it together in the edit. The most rewarding part of all is seeing how our storytellers are encouraged by their film story - especially those who have grown in confidence as they enter their next chapter.”
