Join us for an exclusive conversation with veteran Hollywood producer and executive Eric McLeod, whose extensive career spans some of the biggest blockbuster franchises and beloved films of the last three decades. From Godzilla to King Kong, from the high-seas adventures of Pirates of the Caribbean to the action-packed Mr. & Mrs. Smith and the satirical brilliance of Tropic Thunder, McLeod has mastered the art of large-scale film production.

With deep connections to the Australian industry, having worked extensively on the Gold Coast, McLeod will share insights into the evolving landscape of international production, the logistics behind mounting major studio films, and how Australian talent and locations play an increasing role in global filmmaking. This is a must-attend session for producers looking to navigate international collaborations, big-budget logistics, and the ever-changing film production environment.
