David Maher We would.ve met about 13 years ago. We met while we were working for Fox Television Studios and we were doing a range of things from international scripted sitcoms . we produced two series of Supanova for the BBC . and anthology dramas but we were also producing the Fox format catalogue on the unscripted side.
We also produced a couple of series for Nickelodeon so we were producing a real broad range of things, reporting directly to La. And during the time we probably came to the realisation that producing Australian drama is what we really loved and that.s why we set up Playmaker. I guess we were just looking at producers that we really admired like Hal McElroy and we felt that setting up Playmaker, that there was an opportunity to be part of the next generation of Australian TV drama producers.
