‘The ADG Directors attachment on FremantleMedia’s Paul Hogan series will give a director on-set experience working with a highly respected director in Kevin and will lead them to a career pathway with more opportunities and experience.

‘Attachment programs benefit our entire industry as they lead to more Queensland stories on screen and greater economic growth of the screen sector.’
