Based in Melbourne, Australia, Lilydale Films is an independent production studio and distribution company specialising in youth-focused drama, romance, coming-of-age and LGBTQ+ storytelling. We develop, produce, market and distribute original feature films and series for linear television, digital platforms and streaming audiences around the world.

Our work combines filmmaker-led storytelling with a practical understanding of production, marketing and distribution. We are drawn to emotionally engaging stories about relationships, family, belonging and the transition into adulthood, particularly those that speak to audiences underrepresented in mainstream film and television.

Lilydale Films manages projects across the full production and release process, from development and production through to post-production, delivery, marketing and distribution. Our catalogue includes the internationally released Flunk franchise alongside a growing slate of original films and series. Through this work, we have built an established global audience and strong experience across transactional, advertising-supported and subscription streaming platforms.

We work with filmmakers, producers, distributors, broadcasters and platform partners to bring distinctive independent content to market. For completed projects, we take a selective and hands-on approach, considering each title’s audience, positioning, marketing potential and most suitable release opportunities.

Our goal is to build long-term, transparent partnerships that respect the filmmaker’s creative vision while pursuing sustainable commercial outcomes. Whether producing an original project or representing an independently produced title, Lilydale Films is focused on helping compelling stories reach the audiences most likely to connect with them.
