Sydney
Claire Perkins began her career in New Zealand at Exile Films, specialising in line production for international clients. At just 22, she stepped into producing - a move that would take her career across the globe.
Having lived and worked in London and now Australia, Claire brings a broad and versatile body of experience across live action, stop frame, 2D and 3D animation, CG, and post-production.
Her background has shaped her into a highly creative Producer, known for collaborating closely with world-class directors to deliver ambitious work.
During her time at Unit Post and Nexus Studios in London, Claire worked at the intersection of technology and craft on projects for major global brands. She has collaborated with acclaimed directors including Oscar-nominated Smith & Folks and Derin Seale, and has contributed to two Cannes Grand Prix–winning projects: Chipotle’s Back to the Start (2012) and ALS’ Project Revoice (2018).
Formerly Head of Production at FINCH and currently Executive Producer at MOFA, Claire is deeply committed to nurturing emerging talent while continuing to build strong, long-term partnerships with leading directors, agencies, clients, and brands.
