Mat Humphrey joins Renegade Films

Broadening the scope of its current slate of productions and range of services Renegade Films has formed an alliance with director, Mat Humphrey.

Renegade’s production and broadcast experience and Humphrey’s commercial sensibilities are a great focus for the demands of current day advertising and communications across the board with all clients, agencies and broadcasters.

Says Joe Connor, Renegade Films executive producer: “We are in the enviable position of having developed, made and delivered over 250 hours of broadcast television for national networks. We have sold formats to the US (Wilfred) promoted and undertaken two major national tours with RocKwiz and made landmark, AFI winning documentaries such as Inside The Firestorm, Dirty Business and Utopia Girls, for the national broadcasters.

“Ideas, writing, strategy and development have been the nucleus of our business for a long time and our ability to use all that accumulated experience in an increasingly diverse advertising landscape is a bonus for any agency or client.”

“As a multi award winning commercials director with an outstanding narrative style, Mat brings further depth of talent and resources to Renegade.”

Says Humphrey: “I have had a long association with Ken and Joe, through very early corporate films and then advertising. We have often discussed the prospect of making long form projects together and I’m now thrilled to have that opportunity and be part of one of Australia’s leading on screen entertainment companies.”

Renegade has the rights to some properties that will suit Humphrey’s approach to filmmaking. His work is characterised by his passion for narrative whether it is through comedy dialogue, intensely emotional drama or the ability to capture real human response and sustain emotionally dramatic moments. He has created some memorable television commercials and we will continue to do that as well as using those skills to take the next steps.

Humphrey will join a team of hugely experienced producers, writers and directors offering a vast depth of services to the creative communications and business communities.
