We co-create stories with makers of meaning, art and place.
Stories make us human.
At Connect Curate Create, we work with local lifestyle businesses, community organisations, and independent artists to tell meaningful, grounded stories — from the inside out.
With over 20 years’ experience in community-based storytelling across Australia and the UK, we make short films with empathy, integrity, and care.
We listen deeply. We collaborate openly. And we uncover the stories that help your work resonate with the people who truly care.
We’ve created three StoryLabs
— each tailored to a different kind of maker:
Common Threads
For local lifestyle and artisan businesses
We co-create films with you and your most engaged customers to show how you do what you do best, and how they connect with your products, your story, and your values.
These films are grounded, real-life stories told from the outside-in — designed to build trust, spark connection, and grow your brand through the people who already believe in what you do.
Studio Stories
For artists and creatives
We work with you to document your creative process, the story behind your practice, and why your work matters.
These films are made with deep respect — helping you connect your art and creativity with new audiences, supporters, funders, clients and collaborators.
Neighbourhood Narratives
For communities, councils & local arts organisations
We collaborate with regional councils, community groups and local organisations to tell your stories about everyday community creativity, belonging, and place.
These films capture the lived experience of the people who shape their neighbourhoods through art and creativity — helping build cultural connection, identity and visibility you all can be proud of.
Our StoryLabs feel different — and they work
We don’t start with a script — your StoryLab begins with you.
It’s a collaborative journey of discovery — part field trip, part creative lab — where we work closely with you and those who love your work to uncover the stories that are already there, just waiting to be told.
Each StoryLab is built on trust, curiosity, and co-creation. We don’t manufacture narratives — we surface the ones that matter. The ones full of heart. The ones your audience can see themselves in.
Our process is slow, local, and deeply human — and that’s why our films feel different.
Because when makers like you tell their stories in their own words, with the support of those who already care, something powerful happens: others want to be part of it.
That’s how we help you grow — not by shouting louder, but by sharing more honestly.
Let’s craft a story your next customer/client/supporter won’t forget.
