Screen Queensland has appointed BAFTA-winning TV producer Nick Hopkin as new Project Manager of Production and Investment.
Since starting as a trainee at the BBC in 1987, Hopkin has worked in various roles including director, producer and development consultant.
His children's programmes, including the stop-motion animated series OOglies, Hedz and Serious Arctic have received a number of accolades including two wins and two nominations for Best Children's Entertainment Programme at the BAFTAs.
Last year, Hopkin acted as a development consultant and faciliator around Australia for ABC3's "Creative Thinking and Pitching Formats" workshops.
“These days international appeal has become one of the main priorities and I’ve found that often a simple twist on a format will allow that to be possible without compromising the original idea and target audience,” he said in a statement.
Hopkin will begin work from August 8 and replaces Patrick McDonald.
