About Clockwork Films
Clockwork Films is an Australian film, television and commercial production company founded in 2007.

Based in Sydney, the company combines an Australian production network with international production and facilitation capabilities.
The studio represents a roster of directors, cinematographers, still photographers and visual effects artists. Its production capabilities encompass live-action filming, visual effects, compositing, motion graphics and still photography, allowing it to develop moving-image and photographic work across different formats. Commercial projects serve markets including automotive, retail, telecommunications, food and beverage, financial services, tourism and public awareness.
