THE TEAM
Jeanie Davison
General manager
I’ve worked in “the biz” for over 20 years.
As a Producer and Executive Producer, I spent 10 years in London making films and TV series for the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky and Channel Five, before taking on Head of Factual and Head of Development roles for leading production companies in Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand and the UK.
I’ve worn many other “hats” in my career including Investment & Development Manager at Screen Australia and industry development roles at Screenworks and AFTRS. Recently I’ve been co-Exec Producing a new series with an A-list talent whose credits include Deadpool and Welcome To Wrexham.
Denise Eriksen
CO-FOUNDER
I bloody love “television” – creative content made for all platforms – and my career has allowed me to play in that particular sandpit for more years than I can remember! I binge watch everything from high-end (and low rent) drama and documentary to factual and reality shows.
I’ve worked as a journalist, producer and Executive Producer around the world - and in brilliant jobs as Head of Factual and Head of Current Affairs at the ABC and Head of Production and Development at SBS.
My career highlights? Making shows that audiences love, create careers or educate while entertaining. Oh – and bringing Australia’s own Eurovision broadcasts to SBS.
Esther Coleman-HAWKINS
CO-FOUNDER
I’m a smart, creative and innovative producer with a wealth of worldwide programming experience. From the award-winning Revolution School for ABC1 to the Logie-nominated Last Chance Saloon, my goal is to bring intimate stories to life with insight and humour.
I’m also a long-standing, and enthusiastic, veteran of development. I thrive with the challenge of turning an exciting idea into a successful TV series. Some of my favourite success stories are Luke Warm Sex, Secrets of Our Suburbs and House of Food Obsessives.
Alongside two decades of program making, I love coaching and mentoring people both inside and beyond the media industry. I’ve helped people kick start their projects and revamp, restart or change careers. I’m driven by the fact that I love working and I think, given how much of our lives most us of spend at work, that we need to do something that meets our needs.
