The rumour mill has been kicking around a few names of late for the person who’ll give the John O’Shea Memorial Address at the SPADA Conference in November, but boss Penelope Borland has now confirmed that the honour will go to…
Julie Christie (the Greymouth girl, not the Oscar winner).
International speakers confirmed include Sara Geater, (ex- Thames TV and Channel 4, UK, currently EP on the upcoming Brit flick Glorious 39). She’ll be playing both sides of the fence between broadcasters and independent producers, talking about (amongst other things) recent changes in the UK, rights issues and emerging business models.
