Lists as:

  • Production Coordinator - Drama
  • Production Manager - Screen
  • Production Manager – Drama
  • Unit Manager

Over 12 years of experience across production management, coordination, and unit management within film and television, I bring a strong working knowledge of pre-production planning and on-set execution, with practical involvement in scheduling, budgeting support, logistics, and crew coordination.

I hold a Diploma qualification and continue to develop toward Production Manager and Line Producer roles. Experienced in assisting with line producing functions, including budget tracking and resource allocation, ensuring productions operate efficiently within established constraints.

Have strong work ethics, but am never too proud to ask for help from my team when it’s required. For this reason, I always have solid and clear communication with my crew and HOD’s to ensure each goal and production is met to the utmost satisfaction. I work hard to contribute to productions through hands-on coordination, problem-solving, and maintaining alignment between production requirements and on-ground execution during pre-production and principal photography phases.

A lover of all things creative, a child of two bankers.

Annie is a Production Manager/UPM who works alongside the Line Producer / Producer to execute the production and deliver the budget. She manages the production office, crew and equipment, logistics, and the day-to-day communication flow of the show.

Annie oversees crew engagement and contracting; alongside the production accountant, manages payroll for cast and crew, petty cash, and floats; and is the central point for permits, permissions, insurance, and compliance. With overall responsibility for reporting — from DPRs to POs and incident reports — Annie operates at the centre of a fast-moving environment, managing high-volume communication while collaborating closely with HODs + 2ICs to keep the production running smoothly, allowing every department to do what they do best.
