About Us
We are CINEMACHE, an internationally award-winning and Adelaide-based, creative video production company that loves helping people find their voice and tell their stories. Harnessing the power of memorable and distinctive moving images we engage, inspire and delight audiences across all platforms.
Founded in 2014, our boutique size has made us nimble - allowing us to fit in anywhere. We’re a big creative company in a small package. Where other agencies on-charge you for the quantity of their crew members and staff, we’ve always maintained that old adage - quality over quantity. The people you talk to and strategise with are the ones who actually make your work.
We take a holistic approach to visual projects from concept to delivery. Be it a branded, interview- based documentary or a colourful and fast-cutting suite of social media videos, at CINEMACHE we’re your one-stop-shop for video production in Adelaide.
