One of Australia’s leading screen producers, Sue Maslin, has been appointed
Adjunct Professor in Media in the new School of Media and Communication at

Ms Maslin, who has over 25 years experience working in the Australian film,
television and digital media industries, has produced the Australian feature films
Road to Nhill and Japanese Story – winner of Best Film at the 2003 Australian Film
Institute Awards, Best Film at IF Showtime Awards and Best Film at Film Critics
Circle of Australia, as well as many award winning documentaries, including Hunt
Angels and The Edge of the Possible.
She has also recently launched a development and rights management company,
Film Art Media, kicking off with the theatrical release of Celebrity: Dominic Dunne.
Ms Maslin is currently producing the cross-platform broadband documentary Re-
enchantment, an interactive journey into the hidden meanings of well known
fairytales, to be launched on ABC On-Line and ABC TV to adult audiences.
Leo Berkeley, Discipline Head (Media), School of Media and Communication at
RMIT, said: “We are delighted at the appointment of Sue Maslin. As one of the
most respected, accomplished and forward looking screen producers in Australia,
Sue is in a great position to strengthen the university's links to the screen
industries and we look forward to her sharing her experience with both students

“Her ability to produce Australian films of the highest creative quality, her
commitment to screen culture, her leadership of an impressive range of key
cultural and industry organisations, and her active engagement with emerging
forms of cross-platform media production, are all features of her work that closely
align with the core interests of RMIT Media,” said Mr Berkeley.
