Clarity, passion, versatility, and a strong team are what’s needed to navigate today’s factual climate, according to industry experts.
In a session at Australian International Documentary Conference (Aidc) on Monday, Network 10 executive producer Sarah Thornton, Joined Up Films co-founder and creative director Dan Brown and Cjz head of factual Andrew Farrell were each asked to confront commissioning ‘mortality’ and come up with a program that would ensure their salvation.
Moderator and head of factual at Northern Pictures, Karina Holden, provided the speakers with a special toolkit from which they could select two items that would act as a metaphor for the type of program they would create and commission.
Brown and Thornton’s survival strategy was framed in the context of the documentary Coronavirus Australia: Our Story, which aired last April on Network 10.
The Joined Up Films productions had a timeline of just 18 days from pitch to launch.
