Jo Dillon leaves Screen Queensland

A key job emerges at Screen Queensland as Jo Dillon heads off to lead a media startup.
Two women executives

Screen Queensland runs an interesting internal model in which CEO Kylie Munnich is matched with a Chief Creative Officer in Jo Dillon. That role used to be called Executive Vice President – Content when she started in 2014; both titles are crafted to make sense in Hollywood and reflect the role of international productions and overseas deals.

She was celebrated as a former Development Executive at Screen Australia who started in the UK as a journalist and broadcast commentator, became Head of Development for Yipp Films who took the factual company into drama, and worked more widely as a script and story consultant in the indy sector. So, she is driven by development and writing, and now has seven years of experience fitting the development process into domestic and international markets.
