Frederick Charles Wills (14 November 1870 – 8 August 1955)[1] was a pioneer of cinematography in Queensland, Australia, recording the first moving images of life in that state between 1899 and 1903.

[1] Wills and his family then moved to Toowoomba where he started a photographic equipment business and photo studio in Ruthven Street.

This business prospered until 1914 when he left Toowoomba, it is not certain where he went from there as there are no surviving records apart from his obituary in The Sydney Morning Herald in 1955 which noted he had died in Rowena in north-western New South Wales.

He also produced many pictorial guides and postcards, plus there remains a large body of work from his time in the Department of Agriculture.

Thirty one-minute films were taken in 1899, including test footage showing early scenes of Sydney and Brisbane.
