Who we are

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. Since then, we’ve 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.

Animated Text: Authentic Storytelling

Our approach to screen storytelling puts substance over style to connect and engage with a broader audience, cutting through the noise of a world saturated by content.

Market your brand with captivating screen content

Engage your audience

In an ever-changing world where we are bombarded with screen content daily, driving authentic engagement to your brand is no easy task, but our approach to any project hinges on telling authentic and relatable stories. Every creative decision is driven by the story, with each frame of film progressing it purposefully.

An intentional, purposeful creative practice; that is what creates compelling narratives, and we bring this mentality to every project, big or small.

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.
