All five are in development on their own projects. Last year Cunningham directed short film Oranges Don.t Grow on Trees, featuring Russell and Sarah Snook..
.Our tastes really do contrast quite a bit, generally,. says O.Donnell. .We don.t agree on most films. Even the name we couldn.t agree on (laughs)...
The group finally settled on Five Lip Films (after a stint as Rockpool Films) because .it was five of us giving each other lip, disagreeing with each other...

The makers of Australian documentary The Animal Condition went from jumping fences to opening previously closed doors
The Animal Condition kicks off in full-blown leftist activist mode: a group of four then 20-something friends – Michael Dahlstrom, Ande Cunningham, Sarah-Jane McAllan and Augusta Miller – stumble across videos online of abattoirs and are incensed by what they see.

They secure a small amount of funding from an animal welfare organisation and hook up with hardcore activists who, in a cloak-and-dagger-like way, sneak them on to paddocks and into battery hen factories under the cover of darkness.

Animal welfare documentary The Animal Condition is set for a national release beginning this month via cinema-on-demand platform Fan-Force..
The film, directed by Michael Dahlstrom and produced and written by Dahlstrom, Ande Cunningham, Sarah-Jane Mcallan and Augusta Miller, is a collaboration between four Nida graduates who met in 2007-08 during their studies..
Shortly after graduating they picked up a camera and spent three years filming their experiences as they travelled the country canvassing the views of industry heavyweights (Australian Pork Limited and Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry), federal politicians (the then Minister for Agriculture Senator the Hon. Joe Ludwig and the Hon. Bob Katter MP) and animal welfare advocates (Lyn White and Peter Singer).
.This isn.t just another animal welfare film," said Dahlstrom, "it.s a documentary about human and animal suffering; the dying farmer unable to keep his operating costs low enough to break even,...
