Shark Island Productions

Shark Island Productions is an award winning Australian documentary production company based in Sydney.

Shark Island’s credits include In the Company of Actors, Alone Across Australia and Woodstock for Capitalists, all of which have screened on ABC Television and on a variety of television networks around the world. Their films have won over 30 international awards and screened at approximately 80 film festivals worldwide. Their latest production, The Oasis, is due for release in early 2008.

In 2005, Shark Island Productions established the Shark Island Documentary Fund to support documentary filmmakers and the Australian documentary industry. The Shark Island Documentary Fund has recently created and funded the DOCUMENTARY AUSTRALIA FOUNDATION (www.documentaryaustralia.com.au). The objective of the Foundation is to encourage and enable grant-making by private foundations, individual donors and corporate donors to documentaries, and to ultimately create an additional funding model for documentaries in Australia.
