Goalpost Pictures appoint joint CEOs

Goalpost Pictures has announced founding partners Rosemary Blight and Kylie du Fresne will assume joint CEO roles.

They succeed Kylie Munnich who departed in December 2023.

“We have a unique and valued creative partnership formed from working together across many successful projects. It feels like a natural step for us to take on the roles of joint CEOs as we deepen our relationships with partners both in Australia and internationally and guide the company during a time of accelerated growth, scale and ambition” they said.

Founding partners Ben Grant and Cass O’Connor remain with the company, Grant continuing his Executive Producer role and O’Connor in her non-executive Chair and strategic advisor roles.

Blight and du Fresne have also promoted Production Executive Milly Olrog, recently co-producer on Black Snow 2, to the role of Producer. She joined the company five years ago and in her previous role as a production executive worked across the company’s film and TV slate.

“Milly has proven herself to be a creative, brave and hugely capable and we are thrilled to give her the opportunity to step up into a producer role with the company. We have a busy slate for the foreseeable future and we are excited to see Milly’s contributions,” Blight and du Fresne said.

Blight and du Fresne’s producing credits including Black Snow and Cleverman, and the feature films The Invisible Man, Carmen, The Sapphires and Top End Wedding.

Black Snow 2, starring Travis Fimmel, will premiere on Stan on New Year’s Day and in the U.S. via AMC Networks-owned Sundance Now, and BBC in the UK.  Top End Bub spin off series, starring Miranda Tapsell and Gwilym Lee, will premiere on Prime Video in Australia and New Zealand in 2025 and is being launched for worldwide sales at the upcoming Content London by ZDF Studios.

Also upcoming for Goalpost Pictures is the drama series Cooper, based on the award-winning crime novels by Malla Nunn. Set in 1950s South Africa, it will be presented at next week’s Content London event.
