On returning to Australia after a decade in London, Jemma broke into the industry on cult series Summer Heights High.
With a great ear for emotional tonality of music, Jemma loves working closely with directors to craft their soundtracks, finding the most compelling way to tell their story through the use of score, licensed music or commissioned songs. She loves deep diving into the cultural context of music and pairing the right composer with the right director, knowing how pivotal the dynamic of that relationship is.
She is thrilled to be working on productions including Liz Doran’s adaptation of the Australian literary classic My Brilliant Career (Netflix) and Jen Peedom’s scripted feature debut Tenzing (Apple Studios), written by Luke Davies. The next production to be released is The Drama (A24); Kristoffer Borgli’s highly anticipated black comedy starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson.
Through a trial by fire, Charlie began working with Jemma on the unprecedented expansive soundtrack for the Netflix rebooted Heartbreak High, and has since worked assiduously on the teem drama's following seasons. His expertise in contemporary music culture has been pivotal in shaping the show’s bombastic sound.
In that time Charlie has worked closely alongside Jemma on several other Netflix Australia productions; Boy Swallows Universe, Territory, Apple Cider Vinegar and the upcoming adaptation of Miles Franklin's classic My Brilliant Career. On the film front, he has been involved in the American boxing biopic Christy and the family hit Kangaroo. Having worked on Alena Lodkina's magic realist feature Petrol, Charlie is currently co-supervising on the filmmaker's follow up Twice Over, starring Mia Wasikovska and Charlie Heaton.
In addition to his music supervision work, Charlie hosts a weekly music show for Melbourne's iconic 3RRR FM. He also worked with celebrated indie label Chapter Music for several years.
