Screen Australia’s Martha Coleman to join Goalpost Pictures
Screen Australia’s head of development Martha Coleman is to start a new role at Goalpost Pictures when she leaves the organisation in December.
She will join Goalpost as a producer of both film and television. “I’m so excited to be moving back into production and there is no one I’d rather be doing that with than my friends and colleagues at Goalpost Pictures,” she said in a statement. “I couldn’t be happier.”
Coleman’s previous work includes producing the award winning Australian film Praise and was executive producer on the UK box office hit Run Fat Boy, Run. Before she joined Screen Australia seven years ago, Coleman held roles in the UK as head of development at Icon Entertainment International, head of creative affairs at Material Entertainment and as a consultant producer.
Goalpost partner Rosemary Blight said: “We are absolutely thrilled that Martha will bring to Goalpost her tremendous experience and knowledge in development both in Australia and internationally, as well as her experience as a producer of distinction. We have known Martha for many years and are looking forward to welcoming her into the Goalpost team.”
