A wonderful feature from Salvos Online reflecting on our doco, Limelight – Salvation and the Silver Screen, and the remarkable filmmaking legacy that inspired us to tell this story.

We share a little about our own beginnings in filmmaking, the journey behind Limelight, and why the pioneering work of Joseph Perry, Herbert Booth and the Limelight Department still deserves to be remembered more than a century later.

A big thank you to Barry Gittins () for taking the time to tell the story.

Documentary filmmaking gives us the privilege of meeting some truly remarkable people.

It was an honour to film with Dick Smith and Tony Hasham in Sydney for Variety: A Journey of Hope, alongside Dick's original Variety Bash car. Thank you both for your time, generosity and support.

A special thanks to David Small from Variety Australia for making this opportunity possible.

We've been a little quiet on our socials lately — not behind the camera.

Over the past few months we've had the privilege of filming documentaries, travelling across Australia, capturing community events, working with businesses, creating Matterport virtual tours, and meeting some incredible people along the way.

Every project has reminded us why we love what we do — telling stories that matter.

Looking forward to sharing more over the coming weeks.

🎥 Filming the Kidney Health Australia Summit in Sydney today!

Incredible to see so many passionate voices coming together to improve kidney health and save lives. This cause affects more Australians than many realise — and raising awareness truly matters.

We are truly honoured to help share this story. ❤️

10 Days. Countless Memories. One Life-Changing Journey.

After 10 unforgettable days, the Variety Bash journey finished in Darwin, leaving us with lifelong friends, incredible memories, and a renewed appreciation for the power of community... and for the mechanics who somehow kept us on the road!

It was truly life-changing, and none of it would have been possible without the amazing people, communities, and sponsors who made it all happen.

We can’t wait to share more in our upcoming documentary, capturing the stories, spirit, and moments that made this journey so special.

Huge thanks to Brian and Elwyne (aka the Frenchies) for taking the time to film their interview for the Variety: A Journey of Hope Documentary! 🎬✨ You two are absolute legends, and your energy shines through every frame. 🌟

We look forward to the dynamic duo cruising in style at the Variety Bash in their beloved Peugeot… but let’s just say, I wouldn’t be surprised if that car starts speaking French after all the love and laughter these two put into it! 🚗💨😂

Can’t wait to see you both bring the same amazing energy to the event. You’re an inspiration, and we’re all so grateful for your support. 👏🎉
