Jill is best known as a Line Producer, Production Manager and Production Supervisor on numerous projects from Features Films to Television and Documentary.
Few line producers in New Zealand - or anywhere - bring the depth of experience and precision that Jill delivers to every production. Starting her career in London’s high-pressured international foreign exchange markets, Jill mastered complex logistics, resource management, and fast-paced decision-making - skills she later carried into film and television.
Her industry break came with The Lord of the Rings trilogy, leading to further work with directors Peter Jackson, Edward Zwick, Martin Campbell, David Lowry and Roger Donaldson across productions like The Last Samurai, The Legend of Zorro, Pete’s Dragon and breakout hit M3GAN. She has managed large-scale shoots involving A-list talent including Tom Cruise, Robert Redford, Austin Butler and Bryce Dallas Howard delivering calm leadership and tactical efficiency on every set.
Jill’s deep knowledge of New Zealand’s production landscape - from locations to tax incentives - makes her a trusted partner for studios and independent producers alike. She is comfortable advising international productions as she is assembling world-class crews. Jill brings not only logistical expertise, but calm under pressure, sharp problem-solving, and a passion for supporting bold, ambitious filmmaking. Her leadership will ensure any production is delivered on time, on budget, and at the highest standard.
Jill’s enviable experience is multifaceted and her skills are often called upon in an advisory capacity to many local and international productions and funding bodies.
