 I needed to organize a last-minute film shoot in Australia and nobody from our team was able to make the trip. Luckily I had the extremely good fortune of getting connected with Jimmy Purtill. He served as field producer and DP on the shoot and took care of absolutely everything.

I was anxious about doing a shoot on the other side of the world that I wouldn't be present for, but Jimmy made everything go smoothly. His communication was beyond excellent. He presented us with a range of budget options and worked to get us the best crew and gear possible. He treated our film like it was his own.

The footage we got back was beautifully shot and he got us everything we wanted (and several things we wouldn't even have thought of ourselves). I couldn't recommend him more highly!

documentary production

Let us field-produce part of your TV or feature documentary. We can supply a field-producer/director to manage a local camera-unit, sound-unit, and underwater and aerial cinematographers, all local professionals with TV and feature credits to their names. We can do this remotely working to your brief and under your production-management.

We are equipped to operate completely independently in multi-camera 4k 10-bit and Raw workflows with professional sound-recording and timecode solutions.

If you are planning to make a film here in North Queensland why not source a local crew, ready to go above and beyond bringing your pre-production vision to life.
