PRODUCER
Fiona's mission is to produce distinctive, ambitious films that provoke thought and inspire conversation.
She is a Film Independent Producing Lab Fellow and recipient of the 2023 Alfred P. Sloan Producer’s Grant for Smoke Country - an Australian feature directed by Rosie Westhoff that weaves the climate crisis into an intimate story of a family displaced by wildfire. She was selected for The Gotham Market and Film London's Production Finance Market New Talent Strand (both 2025), and The JETS Initiative 2026, which runs alongside Berlinale - pitching projects she's developing at some of the industry's most significant co-production forums.
Recent producing credits include Imprint by Ran Jing, an AFI DWW+ short exploring the immigrant experience (starting it’s festival in 2026); Fireline by Robin Takao D’Oench for Indeed’s Rising Voices (S4), supported by Lena Waithe’s Hillman Grad and 271 Films, which premiered at Tribeca 2024, won Best VFX at HollyShorts 2024, was a Sony Future Filmmakers Awards finalist (2025), and is now streaming on Hulu; and The Trunk by director/writer Craig Blair, starring Emmy-winner Lamorne Morris and comedian Kyle Shevrin (The Lamorning After - Podcast).
Her experience spans documentary and scripted work. She produced the environmental series Go Gently with Emmy-nominated Dash Pictures, hosted by climate activists Bonnie Wright (Harry Potter) and Pattie Gonia, now streaming on HBO Max and Amazon Prime. Was the Series Associate Producer on the IDA-nominated Netflix/Boardwalk Pictures doc series My Love: Six Stories of True Love (named one of IndieWire’s “Best of 2021”), and 2nd Unit Production Manager on Shondaland/Netflix’s Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
As a Producer fellow of Film Independent's Project Involve, Fiona produced 'The Mason Ring' and 'All I Ever Wanted.' 'The Mason Ring' by Terry Dawson received the HBO Max 'Best Short Film' award at the Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival, while 'All I Ever Wanted' directed by Erin Lau won 'Best Comedy Short' at HollyShorts and screened at BFI Flare.
She also produced the BFI NETWORK- and Tribeca Film Institute-supported short Our Sister (dir. Rosie Westhoff), which premiered at the BFI London Film Festival and won ‘British Short Film’ at the Academy- and BAFTA-qualifying Leeds International Film Festival, as well as ‘Best Short Film (Over 19)’ at Film the House, held at the House of Lords. Fiona and Rosie has since collaborated for many years and are partners in Adapted Pictures.
Fiona is an alumni of the Torino TV Series Lab (Italy) with How To Be, a YA series co-developed with Rosie Westhoff based on the bestselling memoir How to Be Autistic. The series won the Young Directors Award ‘Dream Pitch’ prize and received early development funding from the BFI NETWORK Young Audience Content Fund.
Additional credits include the Sloan Foundation-supported pilot Distemper (dir. Elias Plagianos, starring Abigail Hawk and Chiké Okonkwo), about LGBTQIA+ scientist Dr. Louise Pearce, and the documentary Game Changer (dir. Sarah Wilson Thacker), following Armenian-American footballer Sydney Vermillion’s journey to the national team.
Originally trained as an actor at Middlesex University (BA Hons) and the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), Fiona is also a multi-Audie Award-winning audiobook narrator with over 430 titles - each one refining the instinct for dramatic narrative that sits at the heart of everything she does.
