Forte Corp Pictures Hires Matchbox Exec
3 Aug
Summary
- Brendan Campbell appointed as head of production.
- Campbell previously led production services at Matchbox Pictures.
- Forte Corp Pictures expands production services in Australia.
Melbourne-based Forte Corp Pictures has welcomed Brendan Campbell as its new head of production. Campbell, an ex-executive from the now-closed Matchbox Pictures, will oversee the company's development slate and bolster its international presence. He will also spearhead the expansion of physical production services across Australia.
Campbell's previous tenure at Matchbox Pictures involved managing production services for notable projects, including NBCUniversal's 'Young Rock' and the series 'Joe vs. Carole'. Matchbox Pictures ceased operations in February after Universal International Studios altered its strategy in the territory, resulting in 30 job losses.
Established in 2008, Forte Corp Pictures has a history of utilizing Australian production incentives and global financing for both domestic and international projects. Recent credits include 'Better Man' and 'Eden'. The company also recently completed Kornél Mundruczó's 'Place to Be', starring Ellen Burstyn and Taika Waititi, slated for premiere at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival.
