Imposter and Neighbours prodco appoints head of development and creative producer
Neighbours producer Fremantle Australia has upped two of its senior creative team.
Development producer Ellie Madritsch (Wentworth: The Fall Girl) is now head of development, with a remit across the company’s scripted pipeline.
She has been at Fremantle for more than a decade and is being promoted alongside Anna Curtis, who becomes creative producer.
Curtis has previously worked on Fremantle shows including Heartbreak High for Netflix and long-running soap Home and Away.
Carly Heaton, head of scripted at Imposter producer Fremantle Australia, said Madritsch’s “storytelling superpowers and passion for partnerships will ensure our slate continues to surprise and delight audiences both here and around the world.”
On Curtis, Heaton added: “She pairs beautiful instincts with real production rigour, and she does it with kindness and calm.
“In stepping into creative Producer, she’ll champion our creatives from late-stage development through to delivery so what audiences see on screen stays as authentic as the spark that began it.”
Fremantle Australia is producing Imposter for Network 10 and 5 in the UK, and is also behind Neighbours, which will wrap its 40-year run next month.
