The Northboysouth production model
Simon Robson works directly with advertising agencies to help them develop scripts and concepts. In production, he then brings together the best team of artists and studios that fit the job.
Simon first worked this way in 2010 when he built a collective of 22 studios from around the world to create the multi-award-winning film, Coalition of The Willing. Since then Simon has continued to build a network of brilliant collaborators.
Working in this decentralised way means that Simon can bring together the best artists to fit each role that a commercial production needs.
Simon’s latest film for Edith Cowan University ‘Made Here’ is a great case study for this decentralised and collaborative approach to production. To discover how ‘Made Here’ was created, please watch the behind-the-scenes film on the ‘Made Here’ page to see how a team of amazing artists and studios, all working remotely, brought this film to life.
