    The newest Independent Film Company on the beautiful Gold Coast.

  • In the beginning there was inspiration - the overwhelming desire to tell a story!
  • Not necessarily with words - sometimes actions speak louder.
  • Not necessarily with actions - atmosphere can convey our feelings.
  • Not particularly with any intent then to have another comprehend.
  • To have it seen the way intended, this is the ancient art of storytelling!
beautiful one day, perfect the next
There is a lack of knowledge from the general public concerning independent films & how hard it is to get it "in the can" without the millions the studios receive yet still compete (& sometimes win) on a fraction of the money (& staff!). Many don't realize we spend years working for free to gain enough experience just to get on a big budget studio shoot (usually as a runner). So this space shows the work done "for the love of it" & outlines what we expect to achieve in the future........
What’s it all about?
We decided to team up with freelancers & other small production associated companies & get as much done as we could without funding to prove we have the necessary skills to conduct & expand a production business. Previously we operated as Straight Entertainment - a small business, but due to international expansion we had to change our name so as not to be confused with American Events Management team. We came up with ScreenQuest as it describes our ambition - so here we are!

The Last Year
During the previous year we wrote, produced & directed a short film Even Odds with the help of Llew Cleaver (ex-SBS/ABC head of production) from SPEARHEAD/SURREAL PRODUCTIONS, which was entered in the Tropfest Film Festival. We also created a web site (this is the 3rd) as well as having crew (1st AD, Production Manager & Runner) on an independent feature film distributed in the USA.

We have developed an extensive SLATE - a list of projects we currently have on offer for investment consideration. Our distributors are awaiting product so we intend to secure private funding to provide the resources required for additional production & a presentation has been prepared for potential investors! AVAILABLE ON REQUEST

ScreenQuest was created by Mandie Messenger & Mike Kent as a small business for independent film makers to come together for the common goal of producing quality (affordable) short films. Allowing creative freedom for the motion picture veteran to explore & expand their screen skills as well as providing "on set" experience for those new to our industry.

We have a great bunch of Queensland (mostly Gold Coast) talent on the books - Our cast & crew are all experienced professionals & where you find a link you get more info (cv, website, showreel, promo shots etc.) we can put you in contact with anyone listed in our piece of space just e-mail us
