Oscar winning producer of The King’s Speech, Emile Sherman and Nelson Woss, the producer of Australian box office hit Red Dog, have been confirmed to speak at a special ‘on the couch’ session at the annual SPAA Conference, Wednesday 16 November at 9:00am at the Hilton in Sydney.
Ask any producer in the world what they aspire to and many will say winning an Oscar for best picture or creating a genuine box office hit in their own market. Two Australian producers achieved just that in 2011. Emile Sherman was one of the producers on The King’s Speech, a co-production between Australia and the UK, which won the Academy Award® for Best Picture. Nelson Woss was one of the producers on Red Dog, which became one of the top ten local films at the Australian box-office two months after its launch.
