From Our Clients
The videos Dave has created for us are real, grounded stories of our team members who deliver professional housing services while living within the cultural rhythms, challenges, and beauty of remote Aboriginal communities. Dave has a unique gift for storytelling and capturing those “magic moments”. His respectful, calm approach helps people feel comfortable enough to open up and share from the heart, which shines through in every frame.
We’re incredibly proud of the videos we’ve created together. They’ve become more than just promotional tools; they’re a reflection of who we are, and how we work – The Intract Way!

Dave is a master storyteller. It’s in his DNA. He was born for it. To experience him workshopping a project, crafting a script, or capturing the action of a scene as it unfolds, is like watching a masterpiece come alive. Just like a painter in front of a canvas, a sculptor in front of a potting wheel, or an accomplished writer in front of the blank page. His work is an art form, and he is the Master. Dave brings warmth, energy and boldness, always prioritising the raw emotion of the human experience. Every day working with Dave is a privilege.
Shane McCurryLeadership & Culture Coach
“We partner with Dave to produce new safety e-learning videos focused on our critical risks, and the results were outstanding. The videos were not only engaging but also offered a valuable perspective by integrating the real stories of some of our impacted workers. This approach powerfully connected the human element with the safety message, making the content resonate deeply with our teams.
Participants consistently commented on how different these videos felt compared to traditional safety content The use of innovative camera angles, dynamic scenes, and practical delivery techniques made the training - more relatable, more impactful, and ultimately more effective. We’re grateful for the collaboration and look forward to future projects.”

We have worked with Dave on a number of projects now and it has been an absolute pleasure. His creative vision and direction are outstanding, and he goes the extra mile to ensure we capture the very best footage. He is dynamic and exciting to work with, and always takes the time to fully understand our vision, ensuring the final piece exceeds expectations. And once filming is complete, his turnaround time is extremely quick.
