Producer Al Clark joins Encore Question Time
Legendary producer Al Clark has joined the panel of next Tuesday’s Encore Question Time in Sydney.
The Red Hill producer will replace director Patrick Hughes, who had to jet off to Los Angeles to shoot a commercial.
Clark began his career as a writer for Time Out magazine in London, before joining Virgin, where he founded and edited The Film Yearbook and served as head of production for the film division – with credits including Nineteen Eighty-Four, Aria, Gothic and Absolute Beginners.
He then moved to Sydney, where he has produced the iconic The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, as well as Heaven’s Burning, Siam Sunset, The Hard Word, The Book of Revelation, Blessed and Red Hill – Patrick Hughes’ modern western which opens today.
Clark has also been executive producer of films such as Chopper, Thunderstruck and Razzle Dazzle, and was a member of the board of the Australian Film Commission. He has written the books Raymond Chandler in Hollywood and The Lavender Bus.
Clark will be joined by Screen Australia’s head of development Martha Coleman, Omnilab Media’s Christopher Mapp and Sony Pictures Australia’s Stephen Basil-Jones.
Tickets are still available here.
