Based in Wollongong and working nationally and internationally, we create cinematic, character-driven documentaries that uncover truth, explore culture, and tell stories that resonate far beyond the screen.
Our work spans development, production, and delivery — partnering with clients, broadcasters, and streamers to bring ambitious documentary projects to life.
Our Documentary Production Services
We provide end-to-end documentary production services, tailored to the scope, audience, and ambition of each project.
Whether you’re developing a feature documentary, a limited series, or a commissioned branded film, we approach every project with the same focus: strong storytelling, authenticity, and cinematic craft.
Documentary Production Services
Pine Barren Productions is an Australian documentary production company specialising in feature documentaries, long-form documentary series, and branded documentary films.
Feature Documentary Production
We develop and produce feature-length documentaries for theatrical release, broadcast, and streaming platforms.
Our feature documentary production services include:
Story development & narrative structuring
Research, access negotiation & contributor outreach
Pitch decks, treatments & funding support
Principal photography & field production
Post-production, delivery & festival preparation
We specialise in character-driven stories, investigative narratives, and culturally significant subjects — creating films designed to engage audiences over 90 minutes, not just hold attention for a moment.
Long-Form Documentary Production
For stories that demand depth, time, and nuance, we produce long-form documentary content, including limited series and multi-episode formats.
Our long-form documentary production approach focuses on:
Narrative arcs across episodes
Long-term access & relationship-based storytelling
Editorial cohesion over extended timelines
Broadcast and streamer-ready delivery standards
This format is ideal for complex subjects, evolving investigations, and stories that benefit from sustained audience immersion.
Branded Documentary Films
We create branded documentary films for organisations, brands, and institutions seeking meaningful storytelling over traditional advertising.
These films prioritise:
Authentic, human-centred narratives
Real stories connected to brand values
Long-form engagement over short-term promotion
Shareability across digital, broadcast, and event platforms
Branded documentaries allow organisations to communicate purpose, impact, and identity through story — not slogans.
