About Shadow Wolves
Shadow Wolves Productions is an independent Sydney film production company creating bold, thought-provoking stories that leave a lasting impact. Guided by our motto — “Why wait for opportunity when you can create it” — we specialise in film, television, and digital storytelling that entertains with purpose.
Founded in 2011 by actor and filmmaker Brendan Byrne, Shadow Wolves has contributed to more than 40 productions spanning feature films, shorts, music videos, and digital content. Our work has reached millions worldwide and earned recognition at international festivals and platforms.
At Shadow Wolves, we believe stories should entertain with purpose — sometimes shining light, sometimes venturing into darkness — but always staying authentic, fearless, and courageous.
Our Services
At Shadow Wolves Productions, we provide a complete range of film production services both in Australia and internationally — from development to final delivery. Whether you’re an independent filmmaker, brand, or creative agency, we tailor every project to fit your vision while ensuring cinematic quality.
Consulting & Mentoring
From script assessments to creative consulting, we support independent filmmakers who need professional guidance without the full cost of production. Whether it’s script coverage, pitch deck development, or strategic creative direction, we help shape your project for maximum impact and industry readiness.
Development
Every great production starts with a story. We can help shape concepts, refine scripts, and align creative goals with market potential — ensuring a strong foundation before cameras roll.
Pre-Production
Planning is everything. We can handle scheduling, budgeting, casting, crew assembly, permits, and location scouting, giving your project a rock-solid framework. Our approach streamlines production, saving time, money, and headaches on set.
Production
From set to screen, we can manage the entire filming process — directing, cinematography, sound, and on-set logistics (if you want us to). By working with a trusted network of filmmakers, freelancers, and contractors, we scale each production to match your budget and location without compromising quality.
Post-Production
The story truly comes alive in the edit. We can provide complete post-production services, including editing, sound design, colour grading, VFX, and mastering — shaping your raw footage into a polished final cut.
Distribution & Festival Strategy
We don’t stop at “picture lock.” Our team can help build distribution and festival strategies to help you reach the right audiences — from local platforms to international film festivals and streaming services.

Meet Our Team
Founded by Australian actor, producer, and writer Brendan Byrne, Shadow Wolves partners with a vast network of freelancers, contractors, and industry professionals. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach — every story deserves its own voice. That’s why we bring together directors, DoPs, department heads, and cast to assemble the right team for each project.
