Keryn Nossal, founder of B Corp Fancy Films, is renowned for her creative and collaborative approach, passion for social justice and commitment to inclusivity.
My passion is driving change with purpose driven short form documentary films and strategic factual content. I consult in a collaborative way directing projects across areas I love including the arts, education and social inclusion.
I draw enormous energy from my pro bono work in Indigenous Education and Human Services, creating positive social impact. My specialities include bringing cultural safety to all that I do, ensuring community engagement at all levels is taken into consideration.
Beyond Indigenous affairs I love making short films about artists.
I am challenged, motivated and obsessed by the need to keep my work relevant, engaging and aligned to my personal values. By far my best productions to date are my three children.
PORTFOLIO
Director
Hayley Millar Baker – Nyctinasty
Nyctinasty explores female power and strength, departing from the horror genre’s focus on women’s psychosis. The Indigenous female body is portrayed not as a victim but as a vessel, carrying a present-day practice of magic and spirituality descending from millennia of tradition. The protagonist moves confidently through her familiar domestic space, attuned to her surroundings—physically and psychologically—open and unafraid.

The Jandamarra Story
Our short film features Bunuba elder Joe Ross deep within the caves of Tunnel Creek, telling the historical story of Jandamarra, a warrior during the Frontier Wars. Revered, Jandamarra led the resistance against European colonisation in the Kimberley Region.
He organised the first attack that used guns against British invasion in 1894. He was killed in Tunnel creek by police in 1897 and his head was cut off as a trophy and sent to England. The Bunuba people still haven’t found the skull, but they think they are close to getting it back.
Director
Yiramalay (2018)
This latest film continues to document the story of Yiramalay, June Oscar AO explains the importance of language and culture as “enriching our lives like nothing else can”. Bunuba Traditional Owner Kaylene Marr talks about her role as Senior Mentor at the school and her approach to teaching teenagers, encouraging them to “look, listen and feel” and to “turn the page over to start something fresh.”
