Director Graeme Burfoot joins SO Productions

Renowned director Graeme Burfoot whose credits include a plethora of advertising awards (including Clio, LIA and New York Festivals), an Academy Award shortlisted short film (The Beneficiary), and an AFI nominated TV drama (Shark Net) has joined SO Productions for freelance representation.

Burfoot brings with him over 20 years directing experience across film, TV and commercials for clients such as Lexus, Tooheys, Foxtel, TAC, Toyota and Westpac. His slate shows clear strength in drama, comedy, and visual effects and talent direction.

Says Pip Heming, EP, SO Productions: “Graeme’s always been a passionate and dedicated filmmaker who constantly evolves to keep current. The fact that he’s also an awarded screenwriter, and an incredibly affable character makes him all the more appealing to work with. I’ve no doubt agencies will appreciate his level of expertise and craft in comedy, drama and visual effects direction.”

In 2016 Burfoot was awarded the Australian Writer’s Guild ‘John Hinde’ award for best un-produced science-fiction screenplay, and his latest spot for KFC ‘Hawaiian Double Burger’ is currently getting some serious airtime during the cricket.  

He joins SO with long time producer Jude Lengel. To enquire about Burfoot’s availability please contact SO Productions EP, Pip Heming pip@soproductions.com.au.
