Sue Murray has worked in the Australian film industry since 1977 when she joined the Australian Film Institute as manager of the annual Australian Film Awards and film programmer. Murray moved to Sydney in 1981 and joined the Australian Film Commission [AFC], where she worked in research and policy before becoming Director of Marketing in 1987. This position involved the promotion of Australian cinema internationally and the provision of marketing advice to Australian filmmakers.
On leaving the AFC in 1998, she became Acquisition Consultant for US distributor Fine Line Features, sourcing projects and completed films from Australia and New Zealand. When this arrangement finished in June 2001, she consulted to the New Zealand Film Commission and Australian film agencies prior to setting up Fandango Australia in February 2002 with fellow directors Domenico Procacci, Rolf de Heer, Richard Lowenstein and Bryce Menzies. As Executive Director she is involved in development, financing and marketing of Fandango Australia projects.
