WA-based line producer and production manager Robin Eastwood, whose credits include Who Do You Think You Are? and Every Family Has a Secret, has died aged 62, following a short illness.
IF reports her career spanned more than three decades across documentaries, variety programs, television dramas, and TV commercials, as well as long-form factual television programming.
Artemis Media said in a social media post, “Robin has been a force in our industry, and we’ve had the privilege of working with her over the last 20 years on many series; Desperately Seeking Sheila, Who Do You Think You Are?, Monash and Me, and Every Family has a Secret.
“As a Line Producer and Production Manager Robin set the standard, bringing professionalism and compassion into her work. Her teams felt looked after and supported, and she generously shared her knowledge through her mentoring.”
Screenwest also described her as “greatly respected within the local screen sector”.
In July 1995, Eastwood (pictured front, centre) set up her own production company, which worked across the Japanese and Australian film industries.
Other credits included Requiem for a Generation of Lost Souls (aka Shadows in the Sun), The Human Race, Rosie, Lebanese Beauty Queens and 2007 documentary Ganja Queen.
