Hi, I’m Fiona. I have been working in Film /TV for over 14 years.  I love the creative side of Film /TV and I LOVE MY JOB.

These days, I am mainly focused in the Costume department and have experience as Costume Standby, Costume Background Extras, Costume Supervisor, Stylist. In my recent position, in a supervisory role.

I have an incredible eye for detail, budgeting, stock control, record keeping, management and leadership. I feel supporting others in this industry is very important, as this industry can be very taxing on the body & a stressful environment at times. I find the most exciting part of the costume TV /Film world is the design and creativity along with the incredible humans.

I have worked all over the world in my life, in different employment roles, hospitality, motorsport management, commercial property management, catering, as a child chaperone and cast driving. I am fun & have an enthusiastic personality while getting the job done.

Kira LeMarshall

  • BFA (Film & TV)
Gold Coast
A proactive and highly organised emerging assistant director and production assistant with experience across film, television, web series and commercial productions.

Lists as:

  • Additional ADs
  • Base / On Set PA
  • Child Wrangler, Chaperone
  • PA, Runner

I am a Gold Coast–based emerging assistant director and production assistant with experience across feature films, television, commercials, and live broadcast productions.

Since graduating from Griffith Film School, I have worked on a number of productions in a range of producing, AD and PA roles, giving me a solid understanding of how sets function day to day.

I am highly organised, calm under pressure, and comfortable working in fast-paced environments. My experience includes supporting 1st and 2nd ADs, managing background action, assisting with scheduling and call sheets, and acting as a clear point of communication between departments. I take pride in being proactive on set and stepping in where needed to keep things moving efficiently.

Alongside set work, my background at the Nine Network (TheatreDome, Big Brother) as a producer and floor manager has strengthened my ability to work to tight deadlines, communicate clearly, and manage live production environments. These roles have reinforced the importance of preparation, adaptability, and teamwork.

I am focused on building a long-term career within the assistant directing department. I have a strong interest in scripted film and television and bring a reliable, positive attitude to set.
