Most recently, Liam was Co-Producer on the box-office hit TOP END WEDDING, directed by Wayne Blair and starring Miranda Tapsell and Gwilym Lee, which premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival. He is Associate Producer of the upcoming Helen Reddy biopic I AM WOMAN, starring Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Danielle Macdonald and Evan Peters, which premiered at TIFF 2019 and is due for wide release in 2020, and the Co-Producer on NEW GOLD MOUNTAIN, an exciting revisionist western mini-series for SBS and All3Media International.
Alongside his long-form work he has produced the award-winning web series LOCATION SCOUTS for Tourism NT, written and directed by the Van Vuuren Bros (BONDI HIPSTERS) and an expansive catalogue of short films including ADULT (Dir.
