2 Brownish Girls

Welcome to the 3rd episode of the Farewell Tour, with one of your talented and beautiful hosts, me, Cribbs! Based in Meanjin/Brisbane, Jessica Magro is a proud Samoan-Maltese-Australian producer having worked in the industry for the past ten years and is the founder of independent production company Purple Carrot Entertainment, which has a strong focus on Pasifika-led stories. In this episode we unpack Jess’ intro to the film/tv industry, the sucky parts of the industry and what made her want to centre Pasifika stories in her career focus. We had such an insightful chat to a wonderful pioneer as a Pasifika woman in film and TV. Please welcome JESSICA MAGRO!!!!
