Tom Parkinson

Veteran producer Tom Parkinson has worked with some of New Zealand television's most popular comedians, including David McPhail, Jon Gadsby, and the late Billy T. James (who he discovered in an Avondale Rugby League club). He also directed adventure series Hunter's Gold - whose international success helped launch a run of Kiwi-made children's dramas - and produced many international co-productions.

A producer’s only job function is to take dreams and make them a reality by financing, marketing and selling. Simply dreaming unfortunately is an occupational hazard for producers, and invariably leads to insanity - or worse, becoming a member of an artistic establishment.
