“Born out of a need to make things that we wanted to see and HAVE the opportunity to work with the many talented people we know, Do Be Good Films is the cinematic lovechild of US — Jennine Heymer and Lucy Ratz. As tragic current affair junkies, OUR ABC news notifications ARE constantly chiming AND OUR sharing of intriguing articles knows no bounds. From this, Do Be Good Films has found its humble beginnings in the simple philosophy of ‘What if?”

JENNINE HEYMER
DIRECTOR / WRITER
After a career of many different jobs, including: school teaching, food photography and production management, Jennine never felt like she was doing what really made her happy. Due to the unavoidable fact that life is full of twists and turns — it's taken her a while to figure out exactly what the 'right thing’ for her is.
A self-confessed 'closeted creative', Jennine decided to change things up a little in 2024. Her directorial debut 'Drea! What Have You Done' is the culmination of her enjoyment of writing, creating and collaboration. It's also one of the hardest things she's ever done but she is hoping that this is only the beginning.
LUCY RATZ
PRODUCER
Lucy is a producer with a curiosity that would amke a cat blush. seriously, She wants to know how everything works, what makes a great project and how to stitch it all together like a patchwork quilt (minus the sewing skills, of course).
Whether she’s scribbling character names on sticky notes, Brainstorming shoot LOGISTICS, wrangling crew, drafting call sheets, or navigating the maze of post-production to hit deadlines, Lucy is all in for every part of the process.
Lucy considers herself pretty lucky to work with wonderfully talented people and get to tell good stories people care about — who wouldn’t be sold on that?!
