Profile image for Julie Christie

Julie Christie

Producer, Executive

Julie Christie, DNZM, is one of New Zealand's most successful television producers. She built her company, Touchdown Productions, into the country's leading producer of entertainment television and exporter of programme formats. In 2006 she sold Touchdown to global company Eyeworks in a multi-million dollar deal; she stayed on as managing director until 2012. A decade later she bought factual television company NHNZ.

You need to develop a good story, keep the viewer engaged, promise more twists and turns to come... The main thing I [have] learned was to go with my gut instinct — whatever the genre! Julie Christie
