Cathy Overett began in TV as a documentary researcher for Gulliver Films, spent a number of years as a Writer/Director/Producer in the film unit of the Royal Society for Protection of Birds in the UK and in 2006 produced her first feature film “Unfinished Sky”. Unfinished Sky was the 4th highest grossing Australian film of 2008, won the BIFF Audience Award, MethodFest Best Film, 4 IF Awards, 4 Film Critic Circle Awards, 6 AFI Awards and SPAA Independent Feature Film Producer of the Year 2008.  Cathy has since supervised “De Scheepsjongens van Bontekoe” and co-produced Danish/German/Australian comedy chase co-production, “At World’s End” which releases in 2010 through IFM Filmways. Cathy is also on the Board of Screen Queensland, is Chair of the Queensland Screen Industry Council and SPAA Queensland Chapter Head.

Mark Overett has worked around the world as a highly regarded Creative Producer of factual and light entertainment television. He co-created “In the Dark” which began on LWT with Julian Clary and rolled out as a format into 30 countries around the world, making it the most successful comedy gameshow of its time. With NHP, he produced lifestyle series “Our Place” for Prime NZ. He then expanded into feature film, overseeing the production of Dutch feature “Bride Flight” in NZ in 2007 and recently producing the bitter sweet comedy “Separation City” which released in NZ in August 2009 and in Australia in March 2010 through Hoyts.
