TESTIMONIALS
"Graham was attached to Staddie Films’ proposed feature Don’t Smile Till Easter as Casting Consultant. In an expert and thoroughly professional manner he advertised the roles and shortlisted, arranged, carried out and recorded the auditions for a dozen or more characters. With up to 6 auditionees for some roles, this was a process of quite some magnitude. Graham then expertly assembled the footage of the auditions for each role – we had outstanding acting talent in our auditionees; Graham and I agreed 100% on the selection of the most appropriate person for each role.
Prior to the above, Graham arranged a Crew for a 1 day shoot of a Teaser for Don’t Smile Till Easter – he then edited the footage and was always prepared to re-edit until we achieved the desired result."

"With their first single debuting at no.19 in the US Billboard’s Hot Singles Sales chart, Mattersphere needed a music video clip urgently. However, they needed their product to look high-end without a high-end price-tag. Internet searches for local music video clip production showed OK products… for high-end prices. Then they found Jarbo Productions. Thinking Jarbo probably only did film production, Mattersphere was thrilled to find out that Jarbo had solid expertise in music videos. Not only that, but Jarbo Productions had all the right equipment and a suite of actors at hand if need be. Jarbo Productions was very accommodating in catering to Mattersphere’s needs, along with their available funds, resulting in a product that surpassed their needs. Mattersphere subsequently hired Jarbo for their second video which has undoubtedly surpassed the first. The clip, for the song ‘Rainmaker’, is about to be aired internationally on a pilot TV show, and is currently airing on other fora" EDDIE DEAKIN LEAD SINGER MATTERSPHERE - 2014
"Graham has helped me put together the last two versions of my showreel. As a working actor, he understands the importance of an actor's reel - in particular that the first 10 - 20 seconds are critical (as that maybe all that is watched), that they need to look professional and be kept current. Graham is able to quickly assess amongst my material the best content to put upfront and how to integrate professional and non-professional material to create a slick product that showcases my particular acting strengths, as well as the variety of roles I could be cast in now. He is always to open to feedback from other industry professionals, such as my agent, and is patient during re-editing. I have also worked as an actor on a number of film projects that Graham has directed. I am always delighted to work on his projects because he selects stories that are worth telling, brings to them life with great care, and knows once the time for rehearsal is over actors need 'space' to create a 'moment before' to propel them into a scene and stay connected to the other actors which is crucial because film scenes are often shot out of sequence and the camera leaves you no place to hide! Graham also marshals a great crew around him so being on set is a pleasure, time is used efficiently and everyone is proud of the end result." JULIE MCKAY Actress - July 2012
"A big thankyou goes out to Graham Gall for the fantastic effort he has put in to producing my ‘website’ and ‘showreel’. He is dedicated, respectful and a true gentleman. His knowledge of his craft shows in his professionalism and guidance during the making of my 'showreel', which I am sure will help me to gain further acting roles. If you are looking at having a ‘website’ or ‘showreel’ made I thoroughly recommend Graham, Thank you again, you are a champion!" MORGAN WHITBREAD - Actress - June 2012
"Graham Gall is a talented actor who gives himself totally to the character he’s playing in an interesting way. Graham is not just a director's actor – he is open to suggestions but seems to take control of his acting in a natural sense. I admire how he takes responsibility towards his audiences by acting truthfully but engagingly for the sake of our viewing pleasure. Having also worked behind the camera for a series of projects, he has the wisdom to nail it all without reservations!" SUMON AYE Actress - May 2012
"I have worked with Graham many times in his role as 1st AD. Graham is always prepared, focused and eager to get the job moving which is why I enjoy working with him so much. He is still my first choice when looking for a First." CHRISTIAN DORAN Solar Pictures - December 2011
“A year ago Graham Gall made a few short videos for my studio. That was easy working with him, easy to co-operate and the results were very good. Later we put those videos on Youtube and at Dendy Cinema and got heaps of positive comments. Thank you, Graham, will be happy to recommend you to anyone." NATASHA LUKIN, owner of the Shapemaster Feel Good Studio, Canberra - November 2011
"People warned me that making a short film is a thankless and tough job and that I am likely to be ‘frustrated’ at the end. In the middle of pre-production of my first Tropfest film my business and strategic partner pulled out and my lead actor pulled out 2 days before the shooting date; it was a frustrating time and I was about to give up. I was lucky to meet Graham Gall who changed my ‘frustration’ into ‘happiness’. Graham did the shooting, editing and sound mixing and more importantly the co-directing. Graham's patience, knowledge and hard work have made my dream come true. I am going to be working closely with Graham in at least two more film projects in 2011."
DEV SENDA - January 2011
“Graham has expert knowledge in the area of Film Production and much experience. He is able to draw on these to provide creative solutions. I would highly recommend Graham on any of your film production work. Furthermore I have studied acting with Graham and subsequently been his student. I look to Graham as valued professional actor, who I have much to learn from.”
