SECTION_05 / STUDIO
THREE OFFICES.
ONE GOLDFISH.
Founded in Melbourne, 2021, by actor / writer / director / producer Charles Jazz Terrier (yes, all four — we know, it's a lot). Today the studio runs three rooms across Melbourne, Sydney, and L.A., makes work it's proud of, and remains a CJLT.co production company. The goldfish is fine.
01. WHO
A small Aussie production house. Director-led, voice-forward, allergic to formula. Founded by Charles Jazz Terrier. Run by people who still get nervous before screenings.
02. WHY
We make films that matter. Stories that become cultural touchstones. The ones people can't stop talking about, can't shake off, can't forget. Yes, we're aware that's ambitious. We're going to do it anyway.
03. WHAT
Films & TV. Commercial & brand. Music videos. Development. We don't chase trends, we don't chase formulas — we chase feeling. The kind that sneaks up on you.
04. WHERE
Melbourne HQ. Sydney & L.A. crew rooms. Crews routed worldwide. Our writers' rooms run on flat whites and the second draft. Sometimes the third. Always the second.
05. WHEN
Founded 2021. Three films & series in post for 2026. Three more on the slate. Always reading. (Even the ones we shouldn't be reading.)
06. WHO + YOU
Most great work starts with someone who has a thing to say and the nerve to say it. Especially new voices. If that's you, you're our favourite person in the room before you walk in.
