Jodi Matterson, Australian managing director of Made Up Stories, has departed the company after seven years, ending her creative partnership with Bruna Papandrea and Steve Hutensky.
The producing trio has been behind Nine Perfect Strangers, The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, Wolf Like Me, Strife, Roar, The Dry, The Dry 2: Force of Nature, Penguin Bloom, and Little Monsters.
“Made Up Stories has been such an enormous part of my life, and I am immensely proud of the work that we have made together as a company,” Matterson said in a statement.
“Working with Bruna and Steve and the Made Up Stories team over the last seven years has been something truly special.”
Papandrea and Hutensky said, “Jodi was integral in establishing Made Up Stories here in Australia as we grew from our beginning in Los Angeles to now operating across the US, Australia and the UK,” they said. We wish her the best in the next chapter of her career.”
Inside Film reports that Matterson is in the process of setting up her own production venture.
“I am so excited to be taking on the challenge to continue to tell bold, entertaining stories with collaborators old and new.”
Last August US reports suggested Made Up Stories was exploring the possibility of a sale.
