Think Deeper
At the heart of everything we do is a common integrity and rich respect for people and planet. We thrive as creative collaborators and storytellers underpinned by genuine curiosity, care and empathy.
We recognise that through a focus on community, stories told with empathy connect people which ignites conviction and empowers change.
Award-winning producer/director Lara Damiani is the driving force behind Think Films.
At 28, disillusioned with the corporate world, Lara walked away from a senior management role to travel the world and write. Returning to Australia, Lara had various roles in the private and public sector and established her own communications business. Ten years later, and with no formal training behind her, Lara directed, produced and distributed her first film – a feature documentary about Tibet for which she secured an exclusive interview with the Dalai Lama.
This experience set the precedent Lara has travelled widely to remote places around the globe to make documentaries for international NGOs and non-profits. Her experience, exposure and energy gives Think Films unique positioning as an impact film production studio.
