Shalom Almond – Director
I’m a passionate, multi-AACTA nominated observational documentary filmmaker, whose films follow memorable characters on transformative journeys and grant unique access to closed worlds. My trademark lies in my natural ability to form strong and trusting rapport and relationships with my subjects and their environments, which translates directly to the screen. I’ve made films in collaboration with First Nations hip-hop artists, Kayan refugees from Myanmar and young hill tribe girls of Vietnam. My most recent award-winning documentary SONGS INSIDE (2025) involved spending six months inside the Adelaide Women’s Prison with my camera following the story of a group women who sign up to a one-of-kind music program.

Katrina Lucas – Producer
As a multi-skilled, independent documentary filmmaker, I bring a sense of calm paired with razor-sharp instincts to all aspects of producing. In every stage of the creative process, I aim to foster an inclusive, safe, and respectful practice. My films have travelled to both big and small screens across Australia and the world, including SBS, ABC, Al Jazeera English, the UN Headquarters and Berlinale. My latest feature documentary SONGS INSIDE (2025) won a slew of awards including the Documentary Australia Award at the 2025 Sydney Film Festival and the coveted Film Prize at the 2025 CinefestOz Film Festival. It was also nominated for 3 AACTA Awards earlier this year. See some of my past broadcast credits here.
