Film Releases

A showcase of more than 120 theatrical releases across genres, cultures, and continents.

Over the course of distributing 124 independent films, I have built a slate defined by cultural impact, commercial success, and critical recognition.

My portfolio spans:

  • Indigenous storytelling (Firestarter: The Story of Bangarra)
  • Regional and LGBTQ+ narratives (Last Cab to Darwin, 1985, Swansong)
  • Titles produced in over 25 countries, reflecting a genuine commitment to diverse, inclusive storytelling
     

From micro-budget indies to major co-productions like Hacksaw Ridge and Hotel Mumbai, these releases have:

  • Generated $72.3 million at the Australian box office 
  • Sold over 5.17 million tickets
  • Contributed $20.8 million and 1.42 million admissions for Australian films
     

This body of work includes:

  • 21 AACTA Awards (from 56 nominations)
  • 6 Academy Awards (from 20 nominations)
  • 4 BAFTAs (from 17 nominations)
     

Together, these results reflect an ability to align market instincts with curatorial integrity — delivering award-winning, globally resonant cinema to Australian audiences.
