Claire's producing background is wide and varied with experience in long-form television, film, commercial production, and specialized time in post-production and computer generated imagery. She works across fiction, documentary, games and the world-wide-web and has lectured at AFTRS and other media events. Claire brings knowledge about how to integrate and fund transmedia and cross-media platforms into film projects. She comes from a film, TV and post-production background, working as a Producer at Rotor Studios specializing for over four years on their Toyota and Lexus business.
In 2010, Claire joined Anna Bay and James Boyce to form Dog Money World as a vehicle for their slate of unique cross-platform creative offerings. With the assistance of Metro Screen and in partnerships with The Project Factory (with over 30 years combined experience in the mobile, gaming and digital production field), they have developed ‘Crime Plays’; an immersive cross platform narrative experience that puts a crime world in the palm of your hands. Using unique delivery mechanisms, it applies a game layer that allows audiences to commit virtual crimes in the real world. Claire also works with The Project Factory to produce cross-platform productions and is currently working on a feature film funded by Screen Australia and the South Australian Film Commission.
Jordan Bryon (AUD)

Her production skills and talent for discovering and developing compelling stories won her a one-year grant from the Department of Immigration and Citizenship to work with refugees on the multimedia storytelling project, The Multistory Project.
As a community arts producer, Jordan engages refugees, children from violent backgrounds, people suffering from schizophrenia and people public housing to create their own multimedia stories, thereby developing both digital and life skills.
