Seph McKenna

Head of Australian Production
Roadshow Films

Seph is an 11-year veteran of the Australian-owned major distributor, Roadshow Films. He holds the role of head of Australian production and is interested in outstanding Australian stories with broad commercial appeal.

It would be challenging to argue that Roadshow is not the world’s leading expert on selling Australian films to Australian audiences as judged by their long history in that space and stellar box office results from such Australian generated hits such as Red Dog, Paper Planes, Oddball, Mao’s Last Dancer, and Bran Nue Dae.

The always-positive Seph believes that Australians embrace feel-good Australian stories with gusto. Currently as Roadshow moves closer to partnering directly with producers, Seph is working on a number of titles in development written to amuse and delight, including the English language remake of RAMS, THE BRIDGE, GO-KARTS! , PUB-CRAWL, and THE GHAN. Seph is recently returned from working on LIFE, ITSELF in NYC a feature from Dan Fogelman, series creator and show runner of THIS IS US.
