ABOUT LARRIKIN FILMS

SEEKING TRUTH THROUGH STORIES

Larrikin Films began life back in Takeshi’s home town of Melbourne, Australia. Today we are based in Los Angeles, CA. We specialize in documentary film and TV projects that are unusual and thought provoking. ‘Larrikin’ is an Australian term for someone who displays ‘an irreverence toward authority’ which we think is one of the highest goals an ‘Aussie’ and indeed a documentary production company, can aspire to.
