Two Little Films

01/02/2024

So excited to show you our offical sizzle reel for 2024! We got to do some wild and wonderful things last year, for which we're super grateful, so feel free to enjoy some of the highlights - we sure enjoyed them ourselves!

And as always, a HUGE thank you to all the incredible clients, crew, artists, technicians and professionals we work with that make these beautiful images and stories possible - the credit goes to you!

12/12/2023

Huge congratulations to this guy, the amazingly talented Man-vs-Wild/Cinematographer Caleb Ware who scooped up two awards for us at the Queensland and Northern Territory ACS Awards recently, a SILVER AWARD for MERMAIDS, and a BRONZE AWARD for REEFS, both of which we shot earlier this year for Dell Computers, and in partnership with Borderland UK.
Another huge congrats goes to the incredibly talented Jason Hargreaves who plucked up three awards for us (and Village Roadshow Theme Parks) in our FRIGHT NIGHTS series, with a BRONZE AWARD for the Maze Teaser, and TWO GOLD AWARDS for last year's THE CONJURING UNIVERSE MAZE, and this year's D CEASED.
We love working with brilliant and talented people, and we love it even more when their work is recognised. Well done guys! You deserve it.

Today we're doing a shout out to the "king of horror" - Josh Tanner !
Josh is not only an incredibly talented director, but a visionary, a probable creative genius, and just an all-round lovely person. If you want someone on set who is cool under pressure, still enthusiastic at 2am, and able to produce the kind of thrilling drama that others only dream about, then look no further. We can't wait to work with you again 😀🎥🎬

Josh is just one of nine brilliant directors that Two Little Films works with on a regular basis.

A rather iconic pic of producer James Greville in the thick of things (as usual) on a recent shoot.
Two Little Films has been around since 2003, a joint venture between Director Tori Garrett, and Producer James Greville. We now represent nine directors in Australia and internationally. Our directors are united by a love of narrative story telling and the many beautiful ways to do that on screen. All our directors have projects outside of Two Little Films, and bring skillsets from drama, documentary and music video to our collective productions.

Feel free to get in touch!

We've had the chance to be a part of some brilliant projects this year, and not least was this lovely spot with the vivacious Georgie Parker for Revitive Australia .

Huge thanks to the fabulous Australian Revitive team, who are doing such great things and are so much fun to work with!

And another big thanks to Georgie herself - if you didn't know it already, Georgie Parker lights up every room she's in, in exactly the same way that she lights up our screens. She's a joy to be on set with, and we loved every minute of it.

And last but not least, thank you to our director Beth Armstrong (Curveball Media), who not only has a beautiful spirit but also knows how bring beauty out in others on-screen, and to DP Sean Ryan who knows exactly how to create beautiful images with it all.

Just here highlighting one of our favourite people: Jason Hargreaves ACS Cinematographer

Not only is Jason one of the most easy-to-be-with, intelligent, gently-spoken people you will ever meet, but he is a true professional. His work is exceptional, and we love having him with us on our shoots.

In the long-form and feature world he's known for In Our Blood (2023), The Butterfly Tree (2017) and Christmas on the Farm (2021), but he can (and does) do anything, including beautiful commercial work (which we obviously appreciate!).

Huge shout out and thanks to the incredible team at Village Roadshow Theme Parks - we love working with you guys!

We loved working on this campaign for the University of Queensland MBA Program a couple of months ago - but mostly we loved having the talented high-end director Tori Garrett back in Australia (and back on set with us), and working so beautifully in tandem with incredible DOP Mark Wareham.
Big shout out to Robbie Dodd and the amazing team at Khemistry, to Cutting Edge Post and of course to The University of Queensland !

Earlier this year we had the privilege of working with production partners BORDERLAND UK to create this piece for Dell Technologies about world-renowned freediver Zandi Ndhlovu. Her incredible Black Mermaid Foundation works to democratise underwater education for communities who don't have a means to access the ocean, and we loved being a part of this shoot!

With a focus on dramatic performances and arresting visuals, Brisbane-based director Josh Tanner has directed commercial and video content for clients including Village Roadshow, Commbank and Hewlett Packard, and created pitches for ABC1’s Gruen Planet. Josh’s short films have also screened and won at film festivals internationally, with his short film, The Landing, screening at over 50 film festivals worldwide and winning 11 awards, including taking out Best Short Film at the prestigious 46th Sitges International Film Festival in Spain, and LA Shorts Fest 2014, both of which qualified the film for 2015 Academy Award nomination.
Josh is our go-to guy for anything requiring a wild imagination, edge-of-your-seat drama and stunning images, which is why you'll find him behind the wheel on this year's amazing Fright Nights trailers - like this one!

Fright Nights are happening at Movie World on the Gold Coast from the 6th-28th October. Why not check them out?

How much do we love creating Fright Nights drama with Josh Tanner and Warner Bros. Movie World - Gold Coast, Australia ?
A lot.
Like, a LOT.

One of the most enjoyable things about doing we what we do is getting to work with stunning talent. Thank you so much to the utterly delightful Georgie Parker who lit up our set (and our lives) last week with her beauty, fun and brilliance. And to the lovely Beth Armstrong, who knows better than anyone how to combine kindness, class and excellence. What a great team they made!

12/12/2022

Merry Christmas everyone! Last week our team (and 20 of our closest friends) soaked up a brilliant Christmas lunch on the where much incredible food was eaten and many an eloquent toast was made. Okay, fine. They weren't that eloquent. But they were heartfelt and hilarious!

Thank you to Maggie Choo for making our event so amazing 🎉🥂🍸🍹🍾🎉 and thank you to all of YOU, for making our year so great.

In case you don't already follow her, our star director Tori Garrett has been kicking crazy goals in the US for the last few months, shooting episodes of 'The Rookie', 'The Rookie Feds', 'Big Sky' and '9-1-1: Lone Star', just to name a few! We're super stoked for her (but it will also be nice to have her home again soon).

22/11/2022

It's that time of year! 🎄🎅🏼 ☃️🏖 And we experienced all of the joy and fun of a white Christmas at this shoot for Village Roadshow Theme Parks recently. It turned out just as beautifully as we had planned...and now it's reeeally beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

We had so much fun creating a sweet moment between father and daughter at this recent Funding.com.au shoot. Their new "Build a Bridge" brand campaign will be seen on free-to-air television, video on demand, print, digital and online channels and aims to educate customers on their innovative short-term bridging loan.

A big shout out to our lovely talent and crew, the team at New Word Order and Synergy Management, and the BIGGEST shout out to the Osteria Epoca for letting us use their gorgeous restaurant... not only were they the friendliest, kindest guys ever, but their food is WORLD CLASS. 🍝🇮🇹

Rarely captured on film, this elusive creature is usually only visible behind-the-scenes. James Greville is an outstanding producer (and just plain fun to be around). Here you see him in his native habitat, a Two Little Films shoot, doing the work of twenty people, as usual.

10/10/2022

If there's one thing that we absolutely adore, it's working with the amazing team from Village Roadshow Theme Parks. Because let's face it, Movie World ROCKS. But also, the Village Roadshow team are just great people. And brilliant peeps plus brilliant theme park equals heaps of fun!

NEW BUSINESS NAME ANNOUNCEMENT!

From this day forward, our beloved Two Little Indians will be trading as Two Little Films. We love our original name, and after 17 years it is sad to see it go. It was named after our two little boys, and never intended to be culturally insensitive. However, the last thing we as a company would want to do is offend anyone, especially on the grounds of racism, cultural appropriation or lack of respect for First Nations peoples.

At such a reflective time, it is also timely to thank all of you who have supported TLI over the last 17 years, as clients, as suppliers and as friends. We look forward to continuing the relationship as Two Little Films.

Many thanks again,

James and Tori 🖤

Two Little Films (formerly Two Little Indians) is a high-end film production company based in Brisbane, Australia. We are proud to represent nine incredible film directors, and facilitate visiting productions from around the world.
