OUR STORY

Welcome to 13th Street Films — an award-winning independent production company based in Brisbane, Australia.

Founded by filmmakers Sian Fleming and Joel Stephen Fleming, 13th Street Films began with a shared passion for bold storytelling and authentic voices. What started as two creatives joining forces at university has grown into a dynamic production company dedicated to bringing original stories to life for screens big and small.

We specialise in narrative films, online series and creative commercials that blend sharp writing, compelling characters, and a distinct sense of place. From comedy to thriller, our work is driven by curiosity, collaboration, and a genuine love of the craft. Along the way, we’ve been proud to receive support from organisations such as Screen Australia and Screen Queensland — backing that has helped us grow ambitious ideas into fully realised productions.

Community is at the heart of what we do. We have an amazing network of practitioners that we collaborate with, allowing us to scale to and best serve the unique needs of each project.

We’re also the co-founders of the Brisbane Indie Film Festival, an annual celebration of independent storytelling that brings together emerging and established filmmakers from across Australia and beyond.

At 13th Street Films, we believe great stories connect people. Whether we’re developing new series’, producing films, or collaborating with creative partners, our goal is always the same: to create work that feels fresh, meaningful, and made with heart.
