TALLY is a creative collective and independent production company founded by Archie Hancock and Jack Zimmerman. We make bold, original films with a clear perspective.

We’re in post on a new film, Despite the Night, starring Ed Oxenbould (Wildlife) and Joe Bird (Talk to Me), shot by Sundance alum Sean Ryan and executive produced by Berlinale Silver Bear-winner Patrick Graham.

We're also developing an animated doc, Albion St, about Australia’s AIDS crisis backed by an Oscar-winning producer, as well as our debut feature.

Our documentary short The Conversation premiered at two Academy & BAFTA-qualifying film festivals, selected as one of just 15 selected from 3,400+ submissions at Australia’s most prominent short film festival.

Our debut short film, Kindling (2023), screened at a variety of festivals around the world including Revelation Perth, Cannes Indie Shorts, and Berlin Indie. Where the Cattle Go to Drink, developed as part of Blackbird’s Protostar Program, premiered exclusively at Blackbird’s Sunrise & Moonrise Festival attended by 6,000+ people.

Outside of their filmmaking, Jack has development experience at Wooden Horse and Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine. Archie was also recently selected to study under acclaimed auteur Pedro Costa at Playlab Film’s Directing Lab in Mexico.
