MITCH STANLEY

HEAD OF PRODUCTION

Utilising his eight years of experience in the banking sector, he went on to manage the Acquisitions department for National Indigenous Television in between 2008 and 2010, where he wrote, produced and directed his first short film Aesop’s Way as a part of the Lester Bostock initiative with Screen NSW and Metro Screen as well as the Biggest Port for Director Elizabeth Wymarra, where both films were accepted into the Shorts Film Festival in Adelaide for 2011. Mitch went on to line produce the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children’s series “Move It Mob Style”, which was broadcast on NITV and ABC3. He had later completed a six month Producer Attachment with Screen NSW. Upon wrapping with Screen NSW he later produced Colour Theory with Richard Bell, an eight part documentary series which has since received pick of the weeks in The Australian, The Herald and outstanding reviews in Melbourne’s The Age. Following the success of the first series, series two, three and four have been broadcast on NITV and SBS. Mitch wrote and produced the three time AACTA nominated documentary, Servant or Slave, and produced recent titles on the No Coincidence Media slate Transblack, Between Two Lines, Closed Doors, The Beach and The Moogai.
