We are write time productions
We are an independent production company based in Victoria, Australia. We are a couple of excitable blokes who are passionate about story telling, with a focus on the human condition and what makes people who they are. Our goal is to tell stories that entertain and inspire in a fresh and positive way. We enjoy collaborating with other creative beings if it means we end up with a richer, more powerful result.

Marcello Barbaro
Marcello Barbaro is a writer/producer/director from Melbourne, Australia. He has a background in stand-up comedy and has been engaged as a corporate MC on multiple occasions.
Marcello has written a few short film scripts and was the co-writer (with Nicolas Spadaccini) for Missed Call, which was filmed in Los Angeles in 2014. They also co-wrote the script for Incarnate which was Tropfest shortlisted in 2015. He is currently working on various feature film script concepts with Nic.
Marcello studied Journalism at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. This is where his passion for storytelling was born. He entered the corporate world soon after and had a very successful career in the world of shopping mall development and leasing in Australia, South East Asia and the Middle East.
Whilst he enjoyed these roles in the corporate world, his fascination with people, and their stories, never left him. The dynamics of large companies and how people operate within that environment, has provided Marcello with much fodder for his switch to a career in screenwriting and film producing.
Marcello has recently completed production on a comedy web series titled Get Real Estate, in which he also appears. The link can be found here.
Nicolas Spadaccini
Nicolas Spadaccini is a writer/producer/director from Perth, Western Australia. His love for writing spans back to childhood where he would create short plays and convince his mates to act with him, often earning them performance spots at school talent shows.
Nicolas has long enjoyed the theatre arts, though studied engineering and business at the University of Western Australia. In 2004 he established Cini - Creative Ingenuity, a successful development company that is still operative today. Nicolas loves to travel and explore the expanse of the world. He has completed a yoga teacher training in Bali, a shamanic apprenticeship in Perth and a number of writing/acting/directing workshops in London, LA, Sydney, NYC and Melbourne.
In 2012, Nicolas met his writer/producer partner Marcello Barbaro, at a 4 month intensive film making course in Melbourne, Australia. Nicolas soon realised that he was indeed the “brains" of this emerging production business and has since shouldered most of the creative responsibility but is too humble to mention this...
Nicolas loves spontaneous creativity! He loves meet new people and see the stories in every life he encounters...
