Producer Cathy Rodda has joined Film Victoria as one of its development and investment managers.
Rodda, who started on Monday, will work across various programs including production investment in narrative and documentary features, transmedia and adult and children's TV.
She brings to the role considerable industry knowledge and experience as the producer of feature films including Unfinished Sky, Iron Sky and At World's End.
Most recently she had been developing and producing projects with Norm Wilkinson at Visionquest Entertainment including Bullets for the Dead, a Zombie Western which marks the feature directing debut of Michael Du-Shane from a script he co-wrote with Joshua C Birch.
In other news, the agency is collaborating with the Melbourne International Film Festival in calling for expressions of interest for this year’s 37ºSouth: PostScript & Direct event.
Film Victoria is sponsoring up to 10 Victorian writers with polished feature film scripts that will "wow the market and excite an audience."
Now in its eighth year, PostScript & Direct will take place on August 2 at the Forum Theatre in Melbourne.
