Cody Greenwood is an Australian producer and the founder of Rush Films, the production company behind a distinctive slate of Australian documentaries, shorts, series and features. Her latest film, Zoe Pepper’s *Birthright*, is in Australian cinemas now.
Cody joins Angus Truskett for a conversation about what producers actually do, the films that shaped her, and why making movies might be less of a job than a disease.
We get into: Jacob Elordi loving *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles*, the rise of Byronwood, group chat origins, Cairns-not-Cannes, watching *Eyes Wide Shut* on a plane, growing up in a house full of screens, seeing *The Blair Witch Project* way too young, becoming a producer, “physical producers,” the origins of *Birthright*, angering Andrew Bolt, walking out of movies, why we need more westerns, Warren Ellis hating 80s synth music, *The Girl Who Was Plugged In*, learning to switch off and enjoy movies, IMDbPro-maxxing, Australia ruling at horror, *Challengers*, and Tom “Mr. Movies” Cruise.
Music by Gab Strum.
