Who Are we?

Bad Pitch is a term in screenwriting that is said before pitching an idea that hasn’t been fully fleshed out with the intention of exploring it to see what it could lead to.

We here at Bad Pitch are a collective of three mates who want to show the world what film making means by bringing them along on the journey of discovering that answer.

Recently we found ourselves wanting to do more than what we were handed. Tired of just doing whatever work found its way to us, we decided to start making it ourselves. Since mid 2026, we’ve been meeting every week planning, shooting, and editing videos and films in the spare time we have between work, our personal lives, and our other commitments. Its a monumental task balancing it all but as we continue we’re learning more and more about how to balance it all.

It helps that we have a collective experience of over 30 Short Films, Music Videos, and Documentaries under our belt, equipping us with skills that make the time crunch much more manageable. We understand the struggles and challenges that go into filmmaking, and know how to overcome them. In saying that, we still strive with every shoot to keep expanding our knowledge and skill set, and to try and push ourselves outside of our comfort zones to make sure we don’t become complacent.

We are also taking our first step into the world of media by providing services such as acting showreel content which we’ll share more info on at a later date.

Jackson Tohme

My love for film stems from my father and the bond we shared over movies when I was young. I carry this with me in every film I make, trying my best to make the highest quality product no matter what role I’m taking on to make him proud. I’ve set my sights on becoming a Director, Writer, Producer, and Showrunner and plan on building up Bad Pitch to help me achieve that dream.

My passion for filmmaking began in high school when I bought my first camera, the Canon 200D. Initially this was a venture into learning photography, as I had always been interested in pictures, though I quickly learned my true interest was in video and cinematography. I later made the decision to move to the Gold Coast for film school, which is where I honed my skills in cinematography, collaborated with many other filmmakers, and truly fell in love with the creative industry. I dream to one day have our films up on the big screen, and share our passion with the world.

I’ve always been in love with storytelling. For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to make people feel things. When I was 6 years old I would recount my dreams to my classmates that I would tweak slightly to make them more interesting; when I was 15 years old I would make ridiculous videos to make my friends laugh. Now it’s my life’s goal to create things that will stick with people and have them ask questions they never usually would.
