Production Company Profile
At Ronde, above all else, we are inspired by the characters in our stories. Embodying the imperfection and complexity of the human condition, our characters star in narratives with broad appeal - where conflict, betrayal, love and redemption roar across the screen. Resolutely fearless, Ronde’s production crews enter fascinating worlds inhabited by these unique characters, determined to bring these stories to audiences. In the process, we may bend the rules of format, genre and convention, but we are always respectful to our characters - and we always tell a damn good story. Ronde HQ is in Sydney, and our intrepid crews work Australia-wide. We are looking for both returnable (preferred) and limited series, both scripted and non-scripted, which take audiences into new worlds, or reposition worlds we think we know already. In factual series, the stories must be character driven with unique perspectives. We eschew dogma in preference for grey-zones, which represent tension between beliefs and values.
