Running Cloud Productions is a Sydney-based independent production company specialising in original content within the documentary, dramatic and underwater sectors.

Formally established in 2018, Running Cloud is defined by three core values:

1. Depth. A lot of our stories are set in underwater environments, so we frequently descend literally into the depths of various underwater environments. However, we also place a huge emphasis on character-driven, psychological storytelling that is deep figuratively.
2. Independence. We are not a large corporation. We are a small team that operates autonomously, and believe in focusing on smaller, more authentic stories that resonate with us.
3. Professionalism. We believe in maintaining the highest standards for collaboration and customer service. We make it our utmost priority be communicative, knowledgable, collaborative, hard-working, efficient and courteous.

In 2020, Running Cloud completed its first large-scale project, a documentary feature titled Descent, with plans to develop it into a larger series. We currently have nine other projects that are in development, including features, series and music videos.

Running Cloud’s name is derived from our ability for working at a fast, efficient pace (“running”) while delivering on mentally demanding tasks (“cloud”). The name is also a reference to the striking Tolkienesque landscapes of Australia and New Zealand that have been both a home and a source of great creative fuel on multiple occasions for us.

Some of our past clients include Sony Alpha, Rolex, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Tourism Australia, Destination NSW, Molchanovs, Rodney Fox Shark Expeditions, Raine & Horne, DeeperBlue and the Maldives Whale Shark Research Project.
