Guest Speakers:
Jeff Purser & Ranko Markovic (Templar Films)

In 2002 Jeff entered the film industry and was successful in being part of the production team responsible for raising the finance and setting up distribution for Fat Pizza: The Movie, which was to become one of the most commercially successful Australian films released in 2003. In 2005 Jeff formed Templar films with Ranko Markovic and produced the low budget supernatural thriller Shadow of Sins.

In late 2006 Templar entered into a diversification process and made an entry into the domestic and international television markets by shooting the TV series “Clublife TV” (Channel V, May 2008), “Travelling Warrior” (overseas sales) and “Love Youse All” (Channel 9/Fox Sports/Main Event, June 2008).

30 July 2009 is the release of the much-anticipated feature film Cedar Boys, starring Rachael Taylor and Martin Henderson. The film will be distributed by Mushroom Pictures and was financed by the Australian Film Commission, the NSW FTO, and private investors.
