049: Deep Dive with Pauline Chan

In this episode, Aven chats to Pauline Chan, an award-winning director, writer, and producer with a storied career spanning art-house cinema and international productions, featuring talent such as Jackie Chan, Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett. She famously made history by mounting the first two Australia-China official treaty co-productions, and over the past two years has been actively producing vertical series with titles including Divorced to be the Top Heiress for ShortMax and Alpha King, Your Pregnant Luna Escaped for NetShort. Aven and Pauline discuss the business model and production structure Pauline uses on these series, how they fit into her production company’s overall remit, and the ways they might be filling a gap in talent development, providing opportunities for emerging crew.
