General Manager/Board Director/Producer
I feel a powerful connection to the ABC building at Collinswood (aka the Beehive or the Dream Factory). I’ve been connected to it in some capacity for over 17 years now. It’s the place where I honed my craft of storytelling whilst producing factual TV series for over eight years. Then I made it the home of Channel 44 — Adelaide’s community TV channel.
It’s also the place I’ve bailed up countless politicians in the lift to fight to save our community TV licence and now, as a result, we’re one of only two remaining community TV stations in the country. The ABC building also continues to provide an important place for emerging creatives and university interns to gain real industry experience.
