Cameron's Welcomes Writer-Director Madeleine Gottlieb
Cameron’s is excited to announce that writer-director, Madeleine Gottlieb, has joined the agency.
Beginning her career as a Production & Development Executive at Goalpost Pictures, Madeleine worked on high-profile productions including Matthew Saville’s Felony (2014), Neil Armfield’s Holding the Man (2015) as well as a slew of projects in development. She was Script Coordinator and Assistant to director Wayne Blair on Cleverman Season 1 (ABC, 2016) and Associate Producer on Cleverman Season 2 (ABC, 2017), where she wrote additional story material and was involved from development through production, post-production and delivery, variously working alongside the writers, producers and directors. Cleverman premiered at the 2016 Berlinale.
Madeleine’s first short film as a director, the AWGIE-winning I F***ed a Mermaid and No One Believes Me (prod. Liam Heyen, Cyna Strachan), had its international premiere at Interfilm Berlin / KUKI Berlin in November 2018 and premiered domestically at Flickerfest 2019 before screening at festivals worldwide. In 2018 she directed, wrote and produced her second short film Snare, which was nominated for a 2019 AACTA Award for Best Short Film and world premiered in competition at SXSW 2019, going on to screen in competition at Tribeca 2019, Seattle International Film Festival 2019, Sydney Film Festival 2019, Palm Springs International Film Festival 2019 and Melbourne International Film Festival 2019 to date.
In late 2019 Snare was bought by global online marketing platform Mailchimp and released online to mark the launch of Mailchimp Presents, the company’s new boutique streaming platform. 2019 also saw Madeleine complete a Screen Australia Director's Attachment on Leah Purcell’s revisionist western feature film The Drover's Wife: The Legend of Molly Johnson (Bunya Productions, 2020), as well as write feature film Panyee (dir. Matt Devine) for producers Martha Coleman and Lauren Edwards of Revlover Films. She also wrote, directed and produced her third short film Laura which recently completed post-production.
In January 2020 Madeleine completed principal photography on her fourth short film as writer/director You and Me, Before and After, which stars Yael Stone, Emily Barclay and Tracy Mann. You and Me, Before and After was made with a 95% female cast and crew and is currently in post-production.
Madeleine is passionate about the representation of diverse experiences onscreen and has a particular interest in female perspectives on contemporary masculinities. With the support of Screen Australia, she is developing an anthology web-series on the subject that she conceived of and co-created entitled Masc. Excitingly, Masc. will be made by an all-female production team and six other award-winning female writer/directors. Martha Coleman of Revlover Films and Rob Gibson from Easy Tiger will serve as Executive Producers.
