Film and TV

Storybox Films was created from the desire to make a brand of Australian entertainment which tells stories that are universal. We strive to make films that tell the truth: films in which the characters are rich and the stories compelling. Collaboration, a nurturing spirit, a commitment to excellence and great stories are the four sides of our Story Box, made strong with passion, ambition and dedication.

The Vision of Storybox Films is straightforward:

To create Australian entertainment which reflects who we are and how we think.
