Goalpost Names Rosemary Blight & Kylie du Fresne as Joint CEOs

Australian producer Goalpost Pictures has appointed founding partners Rosemary Blight and Kylie du Fresne to joint CEO roles.

Blight and du Fresne have credits that include the international hit series Black Snow and Cleverman and the feature films The Invisible Man, Carmen, The Sapphires and Top End Wedding.

The two said in a statement: “We have a unique and valued creative partnership formed from working together across many successful projects. It feels like a natural step for us to take on the roles of joint CEOs as we deepen our relationships with partners both in Australia and internationally and guide the company during a time of accelerated growth, scale and ambition.”

Founding partners Ben Grant and Cass O’Connor remain with the company. Grant continues his executive producer role and O’Connor in her non-executive chair and strategic advisor roles.

Production executive Milly Olrog has been promoted to the role of producer. Olrog joined the company five years ago and in her previous role as a production executive has worked across the company’s film and TV slate, as well as independently producing critically acclaimed short films. Olrog was recently co-producer on Black Snow 2.

Blight and du Fresne commented: “Milly has proven herself to be a creative, brave and hugely capable and we are thrilled to give her the opportunity to step up into a producer role with the company. We have a busy slate for the foreseeable future and we are excited to see Milly’s contributions.”
