Blacklock Media Produces 26 Films for the 2024 National NAIDOC Awards
Blacklock Media is proud to have produced 26 finalist films for the National NAIDOC Awards, alongside the official Welcome to Country film for the national awards ceremony.
As an Aboriginal-owned video production company based in Western Sydney, Blacklock Media travelled across Australia over six weeks to film Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders, artists, athletes, educators, innovators, and community leaders whose work continues to make a major impact across the country.
The production involved filming across metropolitan, regional, remote, and Torres Strait locations including Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth, Darwin, Daly River, Thursday Island, and Erub Island in the eastern Torres Strait.
The project required six weeks of continuous travel, filming six days a week under strict national delivery deadlines. Managing flights, freight, accommodation, cultural consultation, interview scheduling, data management, and post-production workflows across multiple states and remote communities was a major logistical undertaking for the Blacklock Media team.
Despite the scale of the production, every finalist film and the Welcome to Country production were delivered on time for the national event.
The project highlights Blacklock Media’s experience in:
Aboriginal video production
Indigenous video production
First Nations storytelling
Documentary filmmaking
Cultural storytelling
Government and corporate video production
Remote and regional video production
National campaign production
Television and broadcast production
Community engagement content
Cinematic documentary production
Australia-wide video production services
Blacklock Media specialises in authentic Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander storytelling through cinematic documentary filmmaking and culturally grounded video production. The company regularly works with government agencies, broadcasters, community organisations, and national brands to create high-quality documentary, television, branded, and cultural content across Australia.
Producing the 2024 NAIDOC Awards finalist films provided an opportunity to work directly with communities around the country and help share stories connected to Country, culture, language, history, leadership, and resilience.
From remote documentary production in the Northern Territory and Torres Strait to large-scale national campaigns and television productions, Blacklock Media continues to deliver high-end video production services with a strong focus on story, culture, and community connection.
