Robyn Kershaw is an Australian independent film and television producer, best known for her work on feature drama, Looking for Alibrandi (2000), musical-comedy, Bran Nue Dae (2009) and the hit TV series, Kath & Kim (original run: 2002–2005).
Though Kershaw is now known as one of Australia's most well respected film and television producers, her career in the arts began in theatre production.
From 1989 to 1994, Kershaw acted as General Manager of Belvoir St Theatre in Sydney where she produced the projects of some of Australia's most well known film artists, including: Geoffrey Rush and Toni Collette. The relationships she made during this time were invaluable to her future in the film and television industries. It was just four years later that she would start her own production company (see below: Robyn Kershaw Productions & RKPix for more information)
In 2001, Kershaw became the Head of Drama and Narrative Comedy for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) during which time she executive produced TV series such as situation comedy, Kath & Kim (series I, II & III). Created by and starring Jane Turner and Gina Riley, Kath & Kim, became the highest rated TV comedy in Australian history and the highest rated show on ABCTV from 2002–2004.
In 2004, Kershaw would end her time at ABC and began to focus her efforts on her own two companies.
In 1998, Kershaw founded and continues to act as both company director and producer for both Robyn Kershaw Productions Pty Ltd (RKP) and RKPix Pty Ltd based out of Australia.
Robyn Kershaw Productions Pty Ltd (website) is a film and television production company created to produce a slate of projects that promise to "enable people to laugh, think and celebrate life" (as the company slogan states). It focuses on the development of a film, seeing it through each stage of production, from conception all the way to production and distribution.
