Dicentium Films, an independent Australian production company founded by Judd Tilyard in 2014, has made significant strides in the film industry with its commitment to original storytelling and genre-defying productions. Based in Queensland, the company has developed a diverse portfolio of films that showcase its versatility and creative vision.
Among Dicentium's notable productions is "Two Heads Creek" (2019), a dark comedy that cleverly blends humor with cultural commentary. This film set the tone for the company's ability to tackle complex themes with a unique perspective. Following this success, Dicentium released "Silent Night" (2020), a chilling narrative that further demonstrated the company's prowess in crafting suspenseful stories.
In 2023, Dicentium Films expanded its repertoire with "Sleeping Beauties," a supernatural thriller set in an isolated mansion. This production highlighted the company's skill in creating atmospheric and engaging narratives that captivate audiences.
Most recently, Dicentium produced "The Red," an exciting horror-comedy featuring a star-studded cast including Michael Biehn, Tess Haubrich, Angie Milliken and Aaron Pedersen. This film, which tells the story of a zombie kangaroo terrorizing an Australian mining town, perfectly encapsulates Dicentium's knack for blending local Australian flavor with universal appeal.
The company's filmography also includes earlier works such as "Feed the Devil" (2015), a horror film that takes audiences on a terrifying journey into the wilderness, and "Battleground" (2012), showcasing Dicentium's long-standing commitment to diverse storytelling.
Under the leadership of CEO Judd Tilyard and Producer Liz Tomkins Dicentium Films continues to work toward pushing boundaries in independent cinema. Their collaborative approach, which often involves talent from various countries, ensures that each production brings a fresh perspective to the screen.
As Dicentium Films looks to the future, its growing portfolio of unique and compelling stories promises to keep audiences engaged and entertained, solidifying its position as a significant player in the Australian and international film industry.
Dicentium Films recently expanded by employing First Nations filmmaker Travis Akbar after a succesful application for Generate: People funding with Screen Australia.
