S.C. Wilson, director.
S.C. Wilson began as an actor, and that training never left. It shapes how he works with performers, how he builds a room, and why collaboration sits at the centre of everything he makes.
His practice resists easy categorisation. Narrative, documentary, live cinema, he moves between them not out of restlessness but out of a genuine belief that form should follow the idea, not the other way around. His debut feature Miles Away, which he wrote, directed, edited and produced, was picked up by Pivot Pictures. His documentary A Thousand Miles to Get Your Head Straight was produced and released jointly by GoPro and Stab Surf in 2024.
In recent years his focus has shifted toward live cinema, a format he has been instrumental in developing. Productions like In the Shadow It Waits (Raindance, MIFF) and Echo No Resonance treat the screen not as a fixed object but as something alive, contingent, made in the room. Echo No Resonance in development with Magpie Pictures as a live feature: Laundry Boy.
He is drawn to devised processes, ensemble thinking, and work that couldn't have been made by one person alone.

"Cinematic live events and immersive experiences for audiences around the world."
S.C. Wilson is a co-founder of HERE & NOW, a Melbourne-based creative studio he built alongside co-founder Michael Beets. The studio sits at the intersection of cinematic film and interactive technology: spatial storytelling, cinematic live activations, and immersive experiences made for audiences around the world.
HERE & NOW partners with global brands and festivals to turn narratives into live, physical, and digital environments. Recent work includes In the Shadow It Waits (Raindance, MIFF), Echo No Resonance (Sony · LiveU), The Unknown Patient (Venice Biennale), Artefacts (Metro Tunnel Commission), and the Live Cinema Lab at St. Kilda Film Festival.
The studio's three pillars, bespoke creative direction, cinematic live activations, and spatial storytelling / XR, are the operational home for SCW's live cinema practice. Where SCW Films is the directorial signature, HERE & NOW is the production engine: festival-grade crew, bonded cellular broadcast tech, and 20+ years of live production craft.
