Geoffrey Brown's biography

EARLY 80s

In the early 1980's I produced, with associate DAVID HANNAY, the feature film EARLY FROST (also working as supervising editor) for ROADSHOW, as well as the TV special BRAZZAKAS REEF shot in F.N.Q on the Great Barrier Reef.

I then worked with long time associate HARVEY SHORE, ex ROADSHOW P.R., for the Australian release of CAN'T STOP THE MUSIC starring THE VILLAGE PEOPLE.

OB also provided promotional and photographic support for the visit of TOM BAKER aka DR WHO when he ‘dropped by’ in the TARDAS on a publicity tour for the popular series.

In 1985 I left Wonder World to be PRODUCER and DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY on the SHOWCASE VIDEO feature film LEONORA, for director Derek Strahan the long time writer/composer of the ground breaking TV series NUMBER 96.

After Leonora I was employed as location PRODUCER DIRECTOR for the ABC TV series FLYING START with responsibilities for shooting all the location ‘mini’ stories used on the show.

I returned to ‘freelance’ production and was DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY on a number of T.V. Documentaries and Commercials for various agencies.

During that period my old chum HARVEY SHORE, now Executive Producer, offered me a gig as freelance Cameraman on SIMON TOWNSEND'S WONDER WORLD. After shooting 50+ stories Harvey ‘promoted’ me to the roll of ASSOCIATE PRODUCER on the show.

I was responsible for all the post production as well as the entire studio taping of the show.
