All in Choc Tops

Alan Maxwell has done everything from working as a typographer to spending 14 years directing TV commercials in Australia and the UK. He has worked with agencies such as Singleton Ogilvy & Mather, J. Walter Thompson, and McCann-Erickson for brands such as McDonald’s, Ford, and Shell.
This wide range of directing experience in film and TV eventually expanded into visual effects (VFX). At this month’s Choc Tops meeting, Alan will talk about how directors and actors can approach working in scenes involving VFX.

Andrena Finlay has been producing films since 1982, having studied at the UK’s National Film School. Her first short film won the 1983 BAFTA for Best Short Film. Features she has produced include Frauds, Me Myself I, and Razzle Dazzle: A Journey Into Dance, as well originating The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

Her current film is Goddess, now in post-production.
