Quoll Farm is a captivating documentary that offers an unprecedented look into the lives of one of Australia’s most elusive and endangered marsupials, the Eastern quoll.

Filmed over the course of a year on a remote, abandoned farm in Tasmania, this intimate and visually stunning film follows naturalist and filmmaker Simon Plowright as he immerses himself in the quolls’ world, uncovering their secrets and exploring the possibility of coexistence between humans and wildlife.

Already extinct on mainland Australia, Eastern quolls face mounting threats in Tasmania from invasive predators, habitat loss and climate change. But on this forgotten farm, they thrive – nesting in old buildings, playing in paddocks, and raising their young in the ruins of a derelict cottage. Through night-vision cameras and patient observation, Quoll Farm captures rare footage of wild quoll families, revealing their playful personalities, complex social behaviours, and ecological importance.

The documentary blends authentic wildlife storytelling with a deeply personal narrative, supported by a rich, orchestral score performed by the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. It’s a story of resilience, discovery, and hope and highlights the urgent need to protect vulnerable species and the environments they call home.

With its emotional depth, cinematic beauty, and powerful conservation message, Quoll Farm is ideal for audiences seeking premium natural history content. It’s a rare opportunity to witness a disappearing world told from within, on nature’s terms.

‘A classic natural history film about a very cute and little-known Australian marsupial, the Eastern Quoll. It has a gentle conservation message, and like several recent films, notably My Octopus Teacher, there’s a story of human redemption as part of the wildlife package’ — Documentary Business
