Paul Clarke Executive Producer

Paul Clarke

Executive Producer

Celebrated filmmaker and entertainment producer Paul Clarke is both renowned and revered as Australia’s leading creator of music and popular culture entertainment and films.  Most recently Paul was the writer, director and executive producer of the acclaimed documentary feature Midnight Oil: The Hardest Line which opened the 2024 Sydney Film Festival before a national theatrical release and premiere on ABC TV.

 

Previously, Paul was the co-writer and executive producer of the AACTA and TV Week Logie Award winning documentary feature John Farnham: Finding the Voice which smashed Australian box office records in 2023.  An originator of the much-lauded live music series Recovery (ABC TV 1996-2000), Paul also wrote, directed and produced the hit documentary series on Australian rock Long Way to The Top (2001), and the Long Way to The Top national concert tour (2002). He was creator and the original executive producer and writer of the award-winning Spicks and Specks (2005), which is so named because it is the only song he can play on the piano. He was writer and director of the award-winning Bombora – The Story of Australian Surfing documentary series and wrote and directed Whitlam: The Power & The Passion (2013), as well as Brilliant Creatures: Robert Hughes, Germaine Greer, Clive James, and Barry Humphries (2015) for the BBC. Clarke was the writer and director of Blood and Thunder: The Sound of Alberts (2016, ABC/BBC4) and has produced multi-camera live concert tour shows for Metallica, AC/DC, Kylie Minogue and Robbie Williams.

 

In 2025 Paul will manage the 20 camera event coverage of Cold Chisel – The Big 5-0: 50th Anniversary Concert for the Seven Network.
