Leilani Croucher deconstructs the making of What the Future, a mind bending journey, shot almost entirely in-camera featuring practical effects, puppetry, and production design that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Steve Rogers conjures another Australian fable where the extraordinary passes for ordinary. Here, Steve shares how history, humour, and a hint of magic were crafted, one shoe at a time.

One House to Save Many, led by Glue Society, was a project that aimed to design, test, and build a prototype house to better withstand the natural disasters affecting the state of Queensland, where Suncorp (the brand behind the work) operates.

The project brought together some of Australia’s leading minds on natural disasters, home resilience, and environmental and architectural best practice. Alongside experts from James Cook University, the CSIRO and Room 11 Architects, Glue Society worked over the span of almost two years to create a prototype house, built with sustainable materials and designed specifically to withstand extreme weather.

Starr Park (created for Supercell’s cult game Brawl Stars) was crafted to feel like an unearthed corporate relic. An uncanny, videotaped pitch to investors from a parallel universe; part 1960s Walt Disney E.P.C.O.T film, part cursed Wonka tunnel. Expansive sets, miniatures, working rides and robotic bartenders haunted the studios where Starr Park was born. Here we uncover the world of Starr Park with director Steve Rogers.

Launched in celebration of the world’s deadliest show, Glue Society transformed 2,000 square metres of Sydney’s Centennial Park into a fully realised cemetery. Over ten weeks, a team of sculptors, builders, illustrators and painters worked to design and craft 37 graves, monuments and mausoleums, layered with story-specific details.

The Original Mouthful set out to resurrect a nationally beloved campaign, while also shooting for five decades of period accuracy, no small feat. Director Leilani Croucher approached the work with care, research and a rigorous commitment to era integrity. Here, the director dissects the process behind the work.

Justin Kurzel’s First Saturday featured real NSW Rural Fire Service volunteers who fought during the devastating 2020 bushfires. Filmed with authenticity as a priority, the film was shot on land previously devastated by fire, with an SFX team recreating fires in-camera. The cast wore full gear, drove the fire truck, and communicated in real time to radio operators, under the guidance of senior RFS members.

Donkey is a fable, existing in a world of its own; a place where time has unfurled differently. We hear from Steve Rogers and production designer Steven Jones-Evans about how the work came together, from mythic landscapes to mariachi halls, and with the help of a real singing donkey.

In 2023, The Sydney Opera house celebrated its golden anniversary. The building itself is much more than an incredible feat of architecture to Australians, it also serves as a monument to creative courage. In celebration of ‘Australia’s House,’ Droga5 (formerly the Monkeys) engaged Revolver x Somesuch’s Kim Gehrig and Tony Award-winning comedian and songwriter Tim Minchin in order to bring to life a four minute musical celebration of fearlessness in the face of naysayers. Here, we go behind the sails of Play it Safe.
