Surfing’s more than a sport – it’s a lifestyle. Legendary surf adventure group Mojosurf certainly know what they’re talking about and RaD are hot on their heels chasing down epic waves, frothing surfers and wicked moments on Australia’s East Coast.

“We’re capturing the essence of the Mojosurf academy – the lifestyle, the achievements and the excellent level these cadets reach once they become globally qualified surf instructors,” explains director Saxon. “The people are so driven and tenacious, as well as being wonderful humans – capturing their journey is what film making is all about!”

After overwhelmingly positive feedback from private screenings in LA and Melbourne, Aussie horror “Bounce” is headed into the big wide world to make its rounds on the international festival circuit.

Earlier this year, private audiences squirmed, gasped, stared in disbelief, laughed out loud and burst into spontaneous and raucous applause at the short starring Jessica Miller, Luke Saville and Jack Sullivan as teenagers hunted down by a mysterious monster in the all-Australian bush.

“We wanted to make something uniquely Australian”, explains director Saxon, “we can’t wait to see how an international audience will react!”

The RaD team have throughout 2018 been collaborating with Melbourne singer/songwriter Gerry Kennedy to document his newest EP launch and rise to fame throughout the indie music scene.

Filming gigs in Melbourne’s hippest neighbourhoods of Brunswick, Carlton and Kensington, the RaD team are documenting live music, recordings, exclusive backstage footage and interviews with the musician himself as well as fans and collaborators.

The RaD team are celebrating 5 years of capturing powerful, professional, strategic visual storytelling in Travel, Adventure Sports, Music, Fashion, Documentary and Lifestyle this year and what better way to bring the powerhouse that is Rat & Dragon in front of people’s eyeballs in one near package than a complete overhaul and launch of their brand new website.

Filled to the brim with even more RaDness than ever before, viewers can enjoy film and photography content from 17 countries, as well as over 100 informative and engaging articles on travel, inspiration and interesting facts learned over 5 years of being global film makers.

The Italian Film Festival 2018 is just around the corner and Melbourne based cheese experts and absolute legends That’s Amore have commissioned the RaD team to bring their storytelling skills and cinematic prowess to their newest ad to run nationwide in support of the festival.

“Filming with Giorgio is incredible”, explains production assistant Jaz, “he’s the face of the company and for a very good reason – he’s passionate about what he does, the people he works with and loves the marketing side of things as well as spreading the That’s Amore love.”.

Featuring a cheese coming to life in a cheeky animation, the ad will run at every screening nationwide, so head over to your nearest Palace Cinema, enjoy some world class Italian film making and an added cheesy bonus between the 11th September and 24th October.

Returning to fiction film production has been one of the main goals of 2018, and if Aussie horror ‘Bounce‘ is anything to go by, producer Nicola and director Saxon are on to something BIG.

Private screenings in LA and Melbourne have had audience squirm, gasp, stare in disbelief, laugh out loud and burst into spontaneous and raucous applause at the short starring Jessica Miller, Luke Saville and Jack Sullivan as teenagers hunted down by a mysterious monster in the all-Australian bush.

“That was phenomenal, where the hell did you get the idea?” Gez, who attended the Melbourne based screening shares with the crowd, whilst feedback from LA’s screening organiser confirmed the audience went “CRAZY for Bounce. People laughed and clapped and then there was the amazing payoff”.

Bounce will be submitted to festivals worldwide including planned premieres at Tropfest 2019.

Hardly off the latest international mission for travel & adventure brand Intro Travel, the RaD team are commissioned for a new production in Sri Lanka.

“Dodging thunderstorms atop Pidurangala Rock, tracking down wild elephants, exploring hidden waterfalls and eating the most incredible food – this is what we love to capture”, explains director Saxon, who with producer Nicola headed the 10 strong team exploring Sri Lanka’s most photogenic spots. “We can’t wait to get our teeth into this monster edit!”
