Dave Hollingsworth.
Blue Post has appointed Dave Hollingsworth director of post production, where he will be responsible for the facility’s technical/creative services and expanding its reach into new markets.
Among Blue Post’s recent credits are Picnic at Hanging Rock, The Flipside, Wentworth, Romper Stomper, Chosen and Mr In Between.
Hollingsworth, who will be based out of the company’s Sydney office, has more than 25 years experience in executive level post and VFX management as well as a supervising colourist, including eight years with Park Road Post Production in New Zealand. He will work alongside general manager Rachel Knowles and managing director Peter Millington.
Hollingsworth said: “After working for 14 years in three different international film and TV markets, it’s an absolute pleasure to take up such a great role in Australia among the best in the business.
“Blue Post has a fantastic reputation, gaining respect from clients in Australia and abroad for its high-quality work, technical innovation and excellent client service over the past 15 years. I am really excited to be joining the team in Sydney to help build on that reputation and grow the business into the future.”
Of Hollingsworth’s appointment, Millington said: “With the emergence of highly complex 4K and HDR post-production pipelines, connectivity between our facilities and our local and international clientele is more crucial than ever. We’ve just moved into a purpose-built facility in Port Melbourne and have added new SAN storage in our offices in Sydney and Melbourne. We’re providing services for productions in every state and are connecting them all with dark fibre technology. We’re fortunate to have someone like Dave come on board to oversee these developments.”
