Cathy Rodda has relaunched her shingle Cathartic Pictures, with a range of dramas and docs in development.
The move comes after four years a production investment manager at Film Victoria – a role Rodda regards as a “sabbatical”.
“I needed a break from the trenches of feature producing, and now I’m back, with deeper knowledge of industry, business, storytelling and formats other than features,” Rodda tells If of her decision to reboot the company, which previously produced Bullets for the Dead.
“There are opportunities in the chaos of our times, and there are still new stories to tell and underserved audiences to reach.”
Cathartic Pictures will have a focus on female-driven horror and sci-fi, multicultural drama and environmental impact.
On the drama slate is Common Ground (working title), a 8 x 1 hour TV drama that tells the story of African refugees from rural backgrounds who return to the land when they move to regional Victoria.
