Director of Photography
Liam Ellis
Liam’s true goal is to support and create important Films that seek to shed light on societal concerns and the human condition. Because Film and Television is a powerful medium, and one that could truly change the world.

Music
Andrew Ford
Andrew has been a pianist and amateur filmmaker for many years. By composing music for films, it’s the best of both worlds. During his time at university, he discovered a new-found passion for Sound Design, the complexities, the post-production process, but also the fun side of it. Especially foley artistry… Any excuse to make a lot of noise.

Editor
Lachlan Kilner
Having attended to his studies longer than most, Lachlan has been involved in a multitude of film and media projects alongside different cohorts at UC. Since becoming set on filmmaking in college, he has participated in a range of both leading and supporting roles behind the scenes but his passion lies more in the post-production phase of any project. With an affinity for film editing, Lachlan regards the stories we tell on film as unique and thought-provoking puzzles to be conceived, created and pieced together as a team - with his role as editor being instrumental in achieving that final step.

Lucy found her passion for production design during her film degree at the University of Canberra. During her time at University she had the opportunity to work on various projects, both within within the institution, as well as the wider Canberra region.

Visual Effects
Erin Hyde
Erin’s interest in film started at a young age, when she knew that she wanted to be one of the names that appeared in the credits of movies. She started out behind a camera, taking photography of wildlife and nature, which then grew into cinematography. After studying at both CIT and UC, Erin discovered her love of behind the scenes work, such as editing and VFX, and decided to focus specialising her skills in post production.

Continuity
Zac Seville
Zac has possessed a love of film from a very young age, often making stop motion short films with plasticine figures of his own making. While his interests have varied over the years, storytelling through film has remained a constant.
Initially struggling to find a passion in the production aspect of filmmaking, he soon developed an interest in the role of script supervisor/continuity, enjoying the problem solving nature of the job, picking out inconsisties and adjusting them in order to present a coherent final product.
