Based in Adelaide, South Australia, our team of passionate filmmakers, led by Brendon Skinner and Simon Williams, combines decades of industry experience with a deep commitment to impactful storytelling.

At Gravity Films, we’re more than just filmmakers; we’re storytellers at heart, dedicated to bringing to life narratives that resonate deeply with audiences.

Our “Film For Purpose” initiative embodies our commitment to using film as a force for good.

With every project, Gravity Films strives to not only meet the highest standards of filmmaking but also to ensure that each film serves a greater purpose. We believe in the transformative power of film to not only entertain but to enlighten and inspire action. It’s this belief that guides our approach, from the initial concept to the final cut, ensuring that every film we produce is not just seen but felt and remembered.

Producer (Story)

Brendon Skinner graduated from Flinders University with a Bachelor of Creative Arts in Screen Studies in 2009 and went on to co-found Gravity Films. Starting in the director’s seat, Brendon transitioned into producing about five years ago, with a focus on story producing. Brendon and his business partner Simon Williams made a number of short films, and a comedy web-series for ABC called ‘Goober’.

They also operate a service arm of the business, producing content for others. Over time, Gravity Films has become centered not around building their own careers and credits, but around their purpose: to tell stories that transform lives.

They recently released their first feature documentary ‘THE LAST DAUGHTER.’ in cinemas before going to Netflix. ‘THE LAST DAUGHTER’ won the Audience Award at the Adelaide Film Festival and Best Australian Film at the Gold Coast Film Festival, before being nominated for Best Documentary in the Australian Academy Awards.
