Our Story
Love the Journey
Taival.
In Finnish, it means ‘journey’.
And for the three of us who work at Taival Films, it’s an extension of the three personal journeys we have been on that has brought us here and now.
Taival Films are Heidi, a Finn who discovered a new home and belonging in Melbourne. Melisa, a young director from the Gold Coast whose passion is getting great performances from the artists she directs and Chris, an editor and colourist who develops films to be ready for the big (or small) screen.
As a collective, we came together at film school with a shared vision of making film and video content that touched people’s hearts, challenged their thinking and opened their minds.
We are a small crew with a wealth of experience and passion to bring to your project. And we do it with a unique feeling of shared purpose and ‘family’. How can we help you achieve your goals?
