WELCOME TO HUMAN AGAIN
Profit-For-Purpose Production Services & Filmmaking Workshops
contact: pawel@humanagain.com.au
OUR PASSION IS HUMAN FOCUSED FILMS.
But that's not where our services end.

We're ADAPTIVE. Whether it's a one person project or a full crew, we scale up or down depending on your needs and budgets.

That means more of your dollars go towards the end product, instead of big company overheads.
WE'VE WORKED WITH ALL THE BIG NAMES.
and across a wide variety of formats, from documentary TV series to short-form branded content and everything in between.

We're Profit-For-Purpose, which means a percentage of our profits go towards subsidising content creation for causes that deserve awareness, but don't have the $$ to pay for it.

  • "I appreciated the way that Human Again took the time to work through our needs and our aspirations with us, and maintained a strict standard of personalised service throughout the production. They delivered everything they promised, and the final product was polished beyond our expectations.

    I have no hesitation in recommending Human Again if you want contemporary media and film-making with the cut-through of professional production value."
    Councillor John Mackenzie
    CITY OF NEWCASTLE
  • "Pawel (Creative Director of Human Again) and his team sent me the pilot of this show they were working on where they embedded themselves in various communities around the USA. I was so impressed with the raw talent and with what they had created without seeking the permission of any of the regular gatekeepers.

    We backed three seasons and it ended up getting picked up by Netflix internationally (as well as a number of other broadcasters). I hadn't met any of the guys before seeing the pilot but when I did, Pawel and his team proved to be true professionals and thoughtful creatives."
    Ben Nguyen
    DIRECTOR OF PROGRAMMING, STAN. EX CHANNEL MANAGER, SBS
  • "Pawel is a triple threat. Not only is he a very talented director and producer, he is also a very skilled editor.

    I had the privilege of working with Pawel on many projects over the years at MTV. He is super creative, professional, organised and delivers amazing content. I would highly recommend Pawel and Human Again."
    Vanessa Zuppicich
    FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR, RASIC & PARTNERS. EX CREATIVE DIRECTOR, MTV AUSTRALIA
  • "When I first met Pawel we were colleagues working together at MTV, during this time I witnessed his inspiring level of creativity and dedication to the craft of storytelling, producing work that would be consistently innovative and engaging to it's targeted audience. When I moved to Nickelodeon I was delighted to have another opportunity to work alongside Pawel and have him bring his skills and knowledge to the brand.

    The work he produces has always inspired me to take creative risks in my own projects and on a personal level his hard working attitude, honesty and warmth has always made him a valued person to have in a team. "
