Stories that inspire
Founded by Henry Smith and Genevieve Clay-Smith, Taste Entertainment is an Australian producer of inspiring family and children's content across both live-action and animation.
​
We have produced acclaimed content for networks and clients including ABC, Sesame Workshop, SBS and ABC Kids. We have created television series for Australian audiences but we also have live-action feature films and animated content in development.
We also develop award-winning film and animation content for purpose-led corporate clients around the world.
Henry & Genevieve
Taste Entertainment was started when just friends at the time, Henry and Genevieve met over a shared passion for great storytelling.
Set up in a small room off the side of Genevieve’s bedroom in Sydney's Inner West, Taste was formed in 2010 with just enough space to squeeze in two Ikea desks.
Today we produce human-centred stories for amazing purpose-led organisations all around the world. We have seen countless lives changed not just through the stories told, but in the way that they get told.
​
And to keep them extra busy, they are now the parents of beautiful twins, Monet and Everest.

Inclusively Made
From day one we have been passionate about empowering people from marginalised communities to both be better reflected in the stories being told, and in the way that they are created behind the scenes.
That’s why in partnership with our sister company, Bus Stop Films, we created Inclusively Made.
Trusted by some of the biggest brands around the globe, we train, consult and produce inclusively made content to see inclusion at the forefront of every story being told.
