Holy smokes Batman! Two works have been nominated for awards this year, and our very own .directs has received a whopping 3 nominations across categories (more than any other Australian director this year).

Sarah will be hitting the red carpet alongside some huge names on November the 22nd (next Friday), and we wish her the very best of luck!

Did you know our founder .directs directed two episodes of the second season of Spooky Files? Now playable for free on !

So grab some snacks (🍿 if you watch the series, you’ll see you’re not the only one who loves popcorn! 🍿) and watch this one with the kids (or don’t… it’s a perfectly loveable and nostalgic series for the adults too - think Goosebumps, Ghostbusters, Stranger Things, Gremlins, ET, or any of those glorious 80s era creature movies).

Well done Sarah. 💪🔥
