form y separately published work icon Love Child ( dir. Geoff Bennett et. al. )agent Australia : Playmaker Media Nine Network , 2014- 7030158 2014 series - publisher film/TV

'A character drama set in 1969 in Kings Cross; the time and place Australia came of age and the new generation broke all the rules. It was the Summer of Love. Mick Jagger was in town, Australia was glued to the telecast of the moon landing and American sailors clashed on the street with anti-Vietnam war protesters. We follow Joan Millar, 28, a maverick midwife returning to Australia and five young pregnant women, whose choices for their babies and own lives exemplify the radical changes at the heart of the cultural and sexual revolution. Their lives intersect between a maternity hospital, a home for unwed mothers and the wild streets of Darlinghurst.'

form y separately published work icon Power Games : The Murdoch-Packer Story ( dir. David Caesar et. al. )agent Sydney : Southern Star Entertainment , 2013 Z1903443 2013 series - publisher film/TV

'From the creators of Howzat! Kerry Packer's War comes the biggest drama event of 2013 - Power Games: The Packer-Murdoch Story.

'At a tennis party in 1960, Australia's most powerful man, Sir Frank Packer, first met the young, ambitious Rupert Murdoch. It was an encounter that would forever change their lives, the future of their country, and the face of the world's media.

'Set in the period 1960-75, Power Games is the story of how the epic ambitions of Rupert Murdoch and the Packer family collided as they battled for control of Australia's newspaper and television industries. And although they played hard, the rivals had a profound appreciation of each other's talents, vision and drive.

'Through 15 years of political intrigue, raw corporate power and high-rolling luxury, these fierce rivals used every means at their disposal to build their empires - and ultimately came to respect and admire each other as titans on the world media stage.'
