Wedge-Tail Pictures (auspice: Documentary Australia)

The Renters is a satirical impact documentary bringing debate and possibilities for change in the housing sector to screens across the country in late 2024. Hosted by Mark Humphries and executive produced by Craig Reucassel, it is produced by Wedge-Tail Pictures and supported by Documentary Australia Foundation. Wedge-Tail Pictures has a history of making impact documentaries, and this one is no different – we’re using gallows humour and satire to tell the story of renting in Australia, from the cities to the suburbs and the bush. How did Australia get into a position where a third of the population – and rising – denied a chance at forming communities, locked out of acting on climate change, with essential workers unable to live near their jobs and young families unable to live in the one place without ripping kids from school. With our partnership with a major streaming platform, ‘The Renters’ will present solutions and call for action ahead of the 2025 election, in a way never quite seen before.
