Australian TV Veterans Launch Lantern Pictures to Implant Creative Showrunner System Down Under
A trio of Australian TV veterans on a mission to implant the creative showrunner system down under launch new company Lantern Pictures.
The company is understood to be working on close to a dozen new projects, many with a significant female leaning, some flowing from Manning’s pen, others in partnership arrangements. Sarah Lambert says that her recent experience producing the Sigourney Weaver-starring miniseries “The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart” for Amazon and Fifth Season, and her previous work in Europe and the U.S., motivated her to take a new approach. Andrew Lambert says that Lantern will operate as an independent producer without a specific major backer, at the moment, and that it expects to work with the familiar array of commissioning broadcasters, government agencies and industry distributors.
