About us

Rocket Dog Films was born from a story of love, loss, and unshakable belief. In 2024, we lost our beloved dog, Luna. To explain her passing, we told our young son that she was now in the stars. To him, that meant she was in a rocket ship, soaring through space. Night after night, he calls for her to come home. From this childlike wonder, Rocket Dog Films was created—fuelled by storytelling, adventure, and a deep connection to the Australian landscape.

Founded by Clay Baird and Lucie Durant, Rocket Dog Films is built on a life spent around campfires, under open skies, and chasing stories worth telling. With backgrounds in film, design, and digital media, they bring a deep understanding of visual storytelling—crafting work that is immersive, cinematic, and authentic.Clay has worked as a **unit manager on Australian feature films like **Van Diemen’s Land and has been involved in a range of student productions. He studied Film & TV and Multimedia Design but thrives in real-world storytelling environments—capturing the raw beauty of people and places through the lens.

Beyond film, Clay and Lucie have built and managed multiple equine brands and founded The Horsemen Collective, an online platform dedicated to producing high-quality online tutorials. Their work in social media, brand development, and digital content creation has helped shape the way horsemanship and rural life are shared with a global audience.Together, they create stories that feel like sitting by a fire—honest, immersive, and deeply human. From documentaries and brand storytelling to independent film projects, Rocket Dog Films is about capturing real people, real places, and the spirit of adventure.
