Ironbark Films was established by award-winning filmmaker & creative director, Julian Neuhaus, in 2019 with the vision to produce purpose driven content and offer a one-stop-shop for small to medium scale film & content production. We’ve since produced content for a broad gamut of organisations spanning businesses, charities, not-for-profits, companies, and government departments, in genres from music videos to advertising to short films. You name it, we can do it.
Our approach to screen storytelling puts substance over style to engage a broader audience, cutting through the noise of a world saturated by content.
Great storytelling can change the world.
Our expertise spans the full production process giving our clients an end-to-end streamlined creative experience:

Film Editing & Post-Production
Films are made in the edit. We believe that every frame should act to progress the story. It’s ruthless, but it makes for powerful content, and it’s this mentality, coupled with our editors’ knack for rhythm & pacing that makes us a cut above. Our cloud-based feedback workflow also makes collaboration on complex projects seamless.

Creative Project Development & Ideation
Story is at the heart of everything we do, and great filmmakers are also great storytellers. Whether it’s a film you want to make, a product or service you want to market, an announcement, an experimental concept, at any stage in the development process, beginning to end, we are a great fit for getting it from an idea to a script, to screen…
Our commitment to inclusion
Inclusion might be a buzzword for some, but for us it’s bible. 1-in-5 Australians have a disability, but we aren’t seeing that represented on our screens, and we certainly aren’t seeing it behind the camera. That’s why, since 2019 when we started this initiative, we frequently employ people with disability on our productions in partnership with Bus Stop Films Employment. In 2025, we became a founding member of The Inclusive, a coalition of leading companies transforming Australia’s production and advertising industry, as we push for a more authentic representation of Australia on screen and a more inclusive film industry.
