Belinda Dean
– Producer


 

Belinda is a creative producer with over two decades experience producing and contributing to screen stories across multiple formats and genres. Her early career was forged working on several big budget American films including The Matrix Trilogy, followed by a five-year stint in London working for US/UK commercial production company Moxie Pictures, home at the time to Wes Anderson, Todd Phillips, Ang Lee, Cameron Crowe, Jarod Hess and more. 

On her return to Australia in 2010, Belinda began producing top end TVCs with some of Australia’s most exciting commercial talents. But eventually, the call to long-form and greater impact storytelling was impossible to ignore. 

Over the past five years, Belinda has produced several award-winning films, online series and shorts through independent production company, unko. Including romantic drama, Cloudy River, that premiered at the 2020 Queer Screen Mardi Gras Film Festival and was acquired by SBS On Demand for their Rainbow Pride collection; uplifting doco The Funny Ones for ABC ME, and several award winning short films, including the multi-award-winning Create NSW, SBS short film Joy Boy and retro-futurist sci-fi Weather Girl for the Epic Games Unreal Engine Short Film Competition. Belinda is also a foundation member of the Screen Vixens and in 2019 was named a Screen Producers ‘Ones to Watch’. 

Since launching Confidante Pictures, Belinda has developed a slate of ambitious series and film projects, and is working with their creators, production partners and the marketplace to take these original and contemporary stories to the world.
