“Fred Films is a production company of rare skills, style and imagination; an organisation with an iron nerve and a tenacious grip, and when all else fails, an unquenchable sense of humour.

John Madden Director, “Shakespeare in Love” (winner of seven Academy Awards)

 

 
 

" Fred's phenomenal experience and refined intuition along with his passion and sense of humour make him a great collaborator and a truly creative producer. I count laughing with Fred (or listening to Fred laugh) as one of my most gratifying experiences. I think the moment my perceptions of Fred were distilled was when, completely enraged with myself after dropping that arri 435 in the briny,  turned to him and he gave me an inimitable shrug and flicked some ash off your cigarette. It made me smile Fred. Yoy are, quite simply, one of the best. "

Gregor Nicholas, director, Radical Media

 

 
 " Hey fred and bianca, congratulations on fred films! i am sure you guys will have every success! i have left partizan in the states and have not decided which company to join, there are many to choose from.
i am in sydney at the moment shooting a 10 day, 2mill commercial for toyota. its a great idea with australia's most creatively succesful and hip agency. life is good!
i even managed to get ramsay to strap on the toolbelt and get out of capetown for this one.
i would love to work and play with you guys again! i will send you a current reel when i finish this as it is a tiny zeitgest for me. china...funny but mike at 8 had such a hard time dealing with the chinese money people that there was a bittersweet after taste when the job was all said and done. i believe though with the right connection there its a potential gold mine. yes definately interested but a little wary. but shanghai is a blast fred you would love it!
my current schedule has me finishing shooting in a weeks time. i am going to take a we break after that as i have a 32 ft sport cruiser now to frolic in sydneys beaches and rivers.
i am excited at the thought of seeing you both really soon, theres only been a couple of oppurtunities to work together but i have great memories of exciting times in foreign places. fred undoubtably in my experiance i have found you to be one of the best producers i have had the oppurtunity to work with, having the very rare blend of creativity and how to best achieve it in the fairest most efficient way. you are fanatastic to collaborate with, you surround yourself with great people who i feel greatly respect and adore you. i love the fact that whilst your very serious about your role, you dont tolerate fuckwits and you have a life outside this pedantic mostly pedestrian business. you are in my estimation a cut above the rest. i am proud to say you are a mate of mine.
give me a tinkle on the phone sometime soon, i would actually love to come and see you guys. "

Lance Kelleher, director
