My Philosophy

The Power of storytelling

INDIVIDUAL

Personal stories are very real and authentic expression of an individual. Often the expression of that story creates change for an individual and those around them. I provide an unobtrusive space for individuals to express their personal stories.

ORGANISATION

Commercial stories can give a genuine feel for the philosophy and personality of an organisation. I guide you and your organisation through my unique creative process. I capture your stories, your passion and what your organisation has to offer.

COMMUNITY

By capturing the stories of individuals and weaving them together a powerful collective story is formed. The story of the community. This creative process often provides insights for a community and that collective voice can often create change.

THE EXPERIENCE

David Brown’s production experience includes short and long form documentaries, commercial work, community projects and fictional films. He is an advocate of human rights, the underlying theme of much of his work. David’s clients include government organisations, businesses, individuals, community groups and Non Government Organisations(NGO’s) both in Australia and overseas.

David believes the process of recording stories of all types is of great benefit in the development of individuals and communities. Capturing that collective voice, the expression of that story is fundamental in creating understanding and change. Davids unobtrusiveness quickly develops trust in any environment, this enables him to get to the core a story and the hearts of the people involved. He has a gentle tenacity that enables him to work with a wide range of people in any environment.

David’s core philosophy is to make your project possible, big or small. He will support and guide you through the entire production experience. You can work with him directly or with his team of professionals that offer a wide range of services. You can expect open and honest communication, we listen, we discuss your project and determine what best suits your requirements and goals.
