STREET DREAMS is available for Australian audiences

After nearly 2 years of planning, shooting and editing, the Street Dreams documentary is on DVD for local purchase including institutional licenses. Outside of Australia, we are entered into a number of film festivals so we cannot sell to other countries just yet. You can read all about this and more on the Street Dreams page or visit a link below...

We are also pleased to announce that the well-regarded organisation Crimestoppers International has endorsed our film project and our forthcoming series.

Keep an eye on this section as this is where you'll get all the up-to-date news on us, the website and what we're currently working on.

Our team is diverse and driven to work on projects from short films to documentaries to corporate training videos to events and weddings. Read a bit more about who we are...

Red Earth Film Productions is a growing film company producing high-quality and unique films for the Australian and international markets. We want to embrace low-budget filmmaking as a viable and necessary position in the Australian film industry which also allows us to refine our craft.

We currently self-produce films to enter into film festivals to gain some gratification about creating movies that people enjoy watching, as well as a stepping stone to bigger projects. Music clips and documentaries are now our focus which is opening the door to more opportunities and creative freedom. With the help of private or government funding, our aim is to produce a feature film or documentary and gain distribution.

We are a motivated group of filmmakers who believe that using the skills from our varied backgrounds, drive and imagination, we can edge our way into the Australian film industry. In order to move forward, we do commercial and corporate work with the same level of dedication and quality assurance, so if you have the need, we can certainly help you!
