Flynn said: “I am absolutely thrilled to be joining Werner Film Productions as head of production. Having previously worked with the team on Crazy Fun Park, I know firsthand the incredible talent, passion, and dedication that goes into every project. I look forward to contributing to the continued success and growth of Werner Film Productions and am excited about the innovative and compelling stories we will create together.”
Joanna Werner, company director of Werner Film Productions, expressed her enthusiasm about Flynn’s appointment: “Annie’s vast experience and exceptional track record in production make her a perfect fit for Werner Film Productions. We are excited to welcome her to the team and look forward to the creative and innovative contributions she will bring to our projects.”
In March, Werner Film Productions was acquired by BBC Studios Productions Australia.
Werner Film Productions specialises in the development of original drama series including The Newsreader for ABC, which was also broadcast on the BBC, and Surviving Summer for Netflix.
The deal provided Werner Film Productions with the backing to grow its production of drama series for Australian and global audiences.
Werner Film Productions will continue to be led by company director Werner and managing director Stuart Menzies and will operate alongside BBC Studios’ local production arm as an independent label, with both companies producing their own projects.
