Finally you can access all our online video content in one place. Trailers, showreels, behind the scenes, examples of our commercial work, and some home video fun to boot. It's all hosted through vimeo, so it's quite high quality. The trade-off is that it can take a while to load. Enjoy!

 


A sampling of our work, including Offside, Aurora, and Hole in the Water.

 

 

 


A collection of moments from our feature film Offside. Not a trailer so much as it is a montage of shots, moments and characters.

 

 

 


The opening scene from our upcoming short Aurora.

 

 

 



A collection of shots from the first six days work on Aurora. Only three days remain!


 

 




Offside screened recently at the 2009 Bigpond Adelaide Film Festival, as part of the SA Screen Awards, for which Offside was nominated for best feature. The screening sold out on two screens, culminating in the biggest attendance in the Mercury Cinema's 35 year history.

 

 

 


Urtext was recently invited to film the Cancer Council of SA's 'Relay for Life 2009', a charity event to raise funds and awareness for cancer and cancer survivors. The night is a mixture of fun but also of sombre rememberance and hope. This video forms the first part of our coverage. We will soon be posting footage of the Candlelight Ceremony.

 

 


Steph Mountzouris and photographer Harmony Nicholas shoot a fashion piece for our best-friends-forever, Merge Magazine, out in Urtext's car park.

 

 

 


Urtextian Matthew Salleh just happened to be around when Adelaide was taken over by Santas.

 

 

 


In our second biggest show ever, Japanese Transgender Punk Rockabilly outfit 'Ikochi' rocked out.

 

 

 


Conceived, written, shot and performed entirely by 11-14 years olds as part of Urtext's/Urban Myth's Going Global workshops, 'The Most Awesome Movie Ever' is a trilogy of films that make up, well, the most awesome movie ever.
