ROOH Productions
Founded in 2014, ROOH Productions is the independent creative studio of James Vegter — a development and production platform dedicated to original intellectual property across film, television, publishing and music.
Through ROOH, James writes, produces and directs cinematic projects that combine cultural depth, cross-border collaboration and artistic innovation. The studio operates as the creative engine behind his feature film development, book publishing, music composition and research-driven storytelling.
Over the past decade, ROOH Productions has developed screenplays, feature film concepts, documentaries, poetry, songs, historical research, children’s books and educational content — building story worlds that move fluidly between screen, page and sound.
The studio’s work spans:
• Writing & IP Development — Feature screenplays, long-form concepts, poetry, lyrics, historical research, children’s literature and multi-volume publishing projects in development.
• Film & Media Production — Producer and director across drama, documentary and education-driven content, with experience contributing to projects and developments up to AUD $16 million in scale.
• Music & Composition — Original scoring and music production for film, television and digital media.
• International Development — Active collaborations across Australia, India (including long-standing relationships within Bollywood), the United States and Europe, supporting cross-border film and publishing projects.
• Digital & Emerging Technology — Responsible integration of AI and advanced digital tools to enhance research, visualisation, copyright protection and international distribution.
• Creative Entrepreneurship — Strategic oversight across budgeting, partnerships, sponsorship engagement, marketing direction and end-to-end project development.
ROOH Productions brings together artistry and enterprise — creating stories that are culturally grounded, commercially viable and internationally positioned. The studio exists not simply to produce content, but to develop enduring creative works that resonate across borders and mediums.
