VERSUS

Directing Duo / VERSUS
Vs. STUDIO / Production Co. VERSUS is independent directing duo, Tanya Babic and Jason Sukadana.

Meeting at art school in the roaring noughties, the two bonded over a shared creative approach of combining contemporary art theory with commercial aesthetics. Out in the real world, Tanya cut her teeth as a producer, while Jason focused on post-production, eventually joining forces as a multi-skilled directing tandem. Known for pairing striking visuals with a commitment to authentic storytelling,

VERSUS craft compelling films, with a particular focus on music, documentary and the arts. Whether directing the Wu Tang Clan or rural Australian publicans, Tanya and Jason have forged a career in bringing these sensibilities to a broad range of screen work. This has resulted in award-winning campaigns for international giants including Google, Airbnb and Youtube, to home grown brands such as Sydney Opera House, Myer and Optus. The two directors are supported by a super talented team at Vs, STUDIO, a production facility purpose-built to bring their creative vision to life. Whether it’s three seconds, three minutes or three episodes, everything VERSUS produces retains the highest level of craft, polish and passion.

‘Oleum’ - A Sydney Opera is now premiering exclusively on global arts and culture channel .

Thank you to everyone that came to the private preview screening of ‘Oleum’ at the Sydney Opera House last week.

‘Oleum’ A Sydney Opera exists to reframe and reconstruct Opera for the screen. But just as importantly, it’s a celebration of the formidable creatives which form our city’s beating heart. It is a work of collective creation which serves as an opportunity to showcase Sydney on a global stage, by putting an extraordinary team of creatives on show. .

We have some bittersweet news to share. After a life affirming stint at Collider, we are departing to focus on independent projects.

We love our Collider fam beyond measure and we’re so proud of the work we’ve created together. We will continue to build upon the amazing relationship we’ve cultivated with more collaborations in future, albeit in a new capacity.

Extra special shout out to the absolute force, that is . Our respect and admiration for you is infinite.

We’re excited to embark on the next phase of our journey.

We will be building upon our independent commercial remit in AU & Asia with further emphasis on our unique hybridised production approach. A production/director solution which partners with agencies, internal production companies, brands and cultural institutions to deliver craft-filled work with creativity sewn into the fabric of its being.

At the same time, we remain focussed on the evolution of our creative studio & production house, . We can’t wait to share some of our most exciting work to date with you in the coming weeks.

In 2025 we will be boosting our creative offering to include more cultural projects that extend beyond pure filmmaking.

Hit us up directly for any commercial + art + film projects.

LFG.

Love,
VERSUS

A super belated but necessary post to celebrate having work recognised in the once again this year.

A collaboration between and , House Vault travelled back in time to relive the most iconic shows at the House, through the people that caught them first hand. From Solange to Crowded House to Wu Tang to Thin Lizzy to Gurrumul to Bon Iver- the series delved into the archives and chatted to a bunch of local and international legends including Justin Vernon himself. It was a joy and honour to direct the series and continue our love affair with live music at this iconic venue.

Big thanks and congrats to the extensive team that put so much love into this project at every level, especially the team at and , DPs .c.jarrett and and editor .

And shout out to all the mates who sat down to chat- , , , , , , the legendary Tony Mott and many more.
