About

Magnetic Theory is an Australian based Production Company, focused on innovative creative outcomes. Since 2011 we’ve striven for excellence from concept to screen, across film and television, digital engagement, branded and event content.

We’re inspired to produce brilliant jobs, working with, and representing, the best creative talent.

In a time of continual innovation we endeavour to keep things simple. We believe in deep collaboration, using technology to open up projects to all involved. This provides a more seamless approach to production than was traditionally possible.

For every venture we take great care to tailor the most appropriate creative team. We encourage an open and inclusive conversation with our clients. We aim to capture the essence of their communication, distill out the central “idea” and produce it.

Oh, and we love what we do!
