Our latest film
AMITY | PULAN STORIES
A film by Angie Simms
Amity | Pulan Stories is a community film capturing the voices, memories, and history of Amity Point (Pulan) — told by the people who have called it home.
The film weaves together 16 interviews, historic photographs, and local archives to share a heartfelt portrait of life in one of North Stradbroke Island’s most loved townships. From fishing shacks and sandy tracks to family gatherings and changing times,
Amity | Pulan Stories celebrates a community’s deep connection to place.
This film can be viewed in the main gallery at the North Stradbroke Island Museum on Minjerribah, Welsby Street in Dunwich, during opening hours. And by request at the Amity Point Community Club.

WE'VE CURRENTLY PARKED OUR PAJERO
IN PERTH, WA
After over a decade of photographing weddings, portraits, and life on this beautiful island, we’ve pressed pause while life takes us in new directions. Stu is now working as a newspaper reporter / photographer in regional WA, and Angie is diving deep into history, researching the 1727 Zeewijk shipwreck as part of a research master’s. We still have a few projects underway on Straddie and will be back now and then — but for now, thank you for being part of our story.
We’re storytellers at heart, blending our backgrounds in photojournalism, documentary filmmaking, travel, and creative media to share the stories that matter. After more than a decade living and working on North Stradbroke Island, we’re expanding our horizons—travelling, collaborating, and diving into projects that connect people to culture, history, and place. Whether behind the lens or the page, we’re driven by a love for real moments and meaningful stories. We’re open to exploring new opportunities and projects of all kinds.
ETHICAL DOCUMENTARY FILM MAKING
Connecting to Culture
Our documentary work focuses on preserving and celebrating cultural heritage. From unique histories of local communities to stories of resilience, we’re passionate about creating films that spark conversations and foster understanding. With a commitment to ethical storytelling, we collaborate with grass root community leaders to ensure their voices remain heard.
BOOKS AND AUTHORS
Telling Stories Through Pages
Storytelling doesn’t stop with film and photography. Our thirst for narrative led us to co-create Eat, Drink and Be Straddie—a celebration of local flavours and culture that has resonated with readers across Australia and beyond. This passion project took on a life of its own, and we’d love to embark on similar endeavours in the future. Whether it’s crafting recipes or diving into creative narratives, we bring stories to life in every medium.
PHOTOGRAPHERS | JOURNALISTS
Careers in Visual Storytelling
We both began our careers as photojournalists, covering everything from front-page news to long-form features across Australia and the UK. Photography has been our foundation, shaping our ability to capture authentic moments and tell compelling stories. While our work has evolved, our love for visual storytelling remains central to everything we do.
TRAVEL
The Art of Simple Adventures
We are lifelong travellers and camping enthusiasts, drawn to authentic experiences and places off the beaten path. From campfire dinners to sunrise hikes, we embrace a simple, grounded lifestyle. Some of our favourite things include good friends, homegrown food cooked over a campfire, and quiet, unspoiled destinations. Our travel work reflects this ethos, focusing on the raw beauty of the world and the connections we make along the way.
PRESERVING STORIES
Oral History and Museums
With extensive experience in oral history projects and museum collaborations, we’re committed to preserving cultural heritage. Our work has been recognised nationally, and we continue to seek projects that amplify the voices of diverse communities, ensuring their stories are told with respect, care, and authenticity.
