About

(K)Need is a love letter to good bread.

A cultural and culinary exploration of breads and pastries told through the eyes of passionate bakers.

We believe the best bakeries are more than places to buy bread — they are neighbourhood anchors, living archives of craft, and windows into the people who shape the food we eat. (K)Need exists to document them.

Each film is a short portrait of a baker and their space — the early mornings, the flour-dusted hands, the ovens that never cool. We travel across Melbourne to find the people doing it properly, and we tell their stories with the care they deserve.

(K)Need is a production of Comma Films, a Melbourne-based film company.
