A COUPLE OF WEIRDOS UP TO NO GOOD.

Valencia Street is the partnership of writer-directors Richard Jamze and Natalie Rose.

Together, Richard and Natalie have built a body of work that has received national awards for excellence in arts, screened internationally at BAFTA and BIFA-qualifying festivals, and nominated for the AACTA Awards. Their films often explore family, identity, and memory through bold genre storytelling.

Their debut feature, Santa Hunters (2024), is an irreverent Christmas mockumentary they wrote, directed, shot, edited, and completed nearly all 200 VFX shots alone. Yes, at one point they ended up in front of the camera and in the film. No, they don’t want to talk about it. The result is wild, heartfelt comedy with emotional turns that catch many by surprise. It premiered in December 2024 and has been distributed worldwide.

Two weeks after finishing picture lock on Santa Hunters, they were back on set filming their second feature, How Quickly Clouds Move. This poetic, emotionally rich story explores queer identity, memory, and the Yugoslavian-Australian experience, anchored by powerful performances from a standout cast including Milijana Cancar (Better Man, Of An Age), Armin Džafić, Karlo Bilić, and Slobodan Dane Andonoski. The film received the prestigious Mardi Gras Film Festival Completion Funds presented by Queer Screen in 2026. Currently in post-production, the film marks a tonal and stylistic shift from their debut, cementing their interest in bold, personal storytelling across genres.

Richard and Natalie are currently in development on two new genre feature films.
