Producer – Helene McNicol

After a false start studying Veterinary Science, I was accepted by Swinburne to study film and television.  After graduating I spent time working for various advertising agencies which culminated with the formation of my own commercials film production company. So for eighteen years I was a partner in, and managing director of, Great Southern Films, one of Melbourne's most successful commercials production companies.  Then in 2005, my new partner, Leanne Tonkes, and I launched The Guild of Commercial Filmmakers, a film production company that will produce material from commercials to feature films. My hobby is starting the careers of new young talent and seeing them blossom into very successful directors. I have been part of all sorts of great awards. I have been on many industry boards – SPAA, Melbourne Film Office and Ausfilm. And I was 2002 SPAA Commercials Producer of the Year.
