Former Ausfilm chief executive Jackie O'Sullivan is the new head of production and development for Studiocanal Australia and New Zealand.
Feature films from directors Tony Ayres and Gracie Otto, as well Aunty Donna’s production company Haven’t You Done Well Productions, are among the 33 projects to share in $1 million of story development funding from Screen Australia.
In his new role, Gillezeau will oversee the company's growing local production slate, which includes features 'Helena!', to be directed by Gracie Otto, and 'Kangaroo', to be directed by Kate Woods.
Ahead of the Australian International Movie Convention next week, both major and independent distributors participate in a rapid round with IF to discuss the current landscape.
Director Kate Woods is gearing up to shoot 'Kangaroo' in Alice Springs and NSW mid-next year, with the film now financed.
