WHERE CINEMATIC IMPACT MEETS POWERFUL RETURNS

SilverFox Films

SilverFox Films Australia, founded in 2024 by Hollywood veteran Danial Donái, has rapidly emerged as one of Australia’s most dynamic and globally oriented independent film makers. Based in Queensland, the company specialises in high-impact action, thriller, and horror films that harness the cinematic power of Far North Queensland’s breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, and deep Indigenous heritage.

 

Leveraging world-class Hollywood experience, unmatched regional access, Australia’s robust screen incentives, and strategic international partnerships, SilverFox Films delivers premium, US-standard production value while maintaining the agility, innovation, and creative edge that distinguish Australia’s most elite independent studios. Danial's Hollywood adventures have featured thrilling collaborations with legends, including Joel Schumacher, George Clooney, Keanu Reeves and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

 

We're thrilled to present an exceptional investment opportunity in Silver Fox Films' ambitious lineup, which kicks off with The Night Flyers — filmed across the haunting Australian outback and the majestic Great Barrier Reef. It taps into the high-ROI global horror market and has already gained international recognition, winning the 2025 New York International Film Award for Best Horror Film.

 

SilverFox Films' slate includes five more innovative projects, each blending cutting-edge storytelling, local talent, and stunning visuals to captivate audiences worldwide. By 2030, we aim to become Far North Queensland's leading film production studio, with a sustainable pipeline of films earning global recognition. Our mission is to produce iconic, regionally authentic movies that raise Australian production standards, train local crews, boost tourism, and deliver strong returns for investors.

 

Unlike traditional options like real estate—which often face market volatility and long timelines—film investments provide dynamic, scalable returns, lasting cultural impact, and a creative legacy, all within a more flexible and rewarding structure.

THE NIGHT FLYERS

SCHEDULED FOR PRODUCTION 2026

The Night Flyers follows a documentary crew venturing deep into remote Indigenous sites to uncover a forgotten legend, only to awaken an ancient force that has guarded the land for centuries. As night falls, the team finds themselves hunted by supernatural entities tied to the region’s oldest stories, trapped between cultural truths they don’t fully understand and a terror far beyond anything they could have imagined. Set against the haunting beauty of the outback and the vast expanse of the Great Barrier Reef, the film blends grounded mythology with high-intensity horror to deliver a gripping, internationally marketable Australian thriller.

Recently, it was awarded Best Horror Film at the 2025 New York International Film Awards.
