Academy Award and two-time Golden Globe winning producer Jon Landau holds the distinction of having produced the two highest grossing films of all time: AVATAR and TITANIC. The combination of Landau’s thorough understanding of the most complex state-of-the-art technologies, his ability to work hand-in-hand with the highest calibre of creative talent, and his motivational ability has enabled him to play a significant role in numerous major feature films.
Landau has a handle on all aspects of the creative process, including a firm grasp on the ever-changing landscape of digital technology. With an innate ability to inspire others to push the creative boundaries of storytelling, and the imagination to invent any new tools that will achieve this success, Jon Landau teaches believes that if you feel limited because you feel your ideas are “ahead of their time” – get a new watch.
Jon Landau was recently appointed to the New Zealand Screen Advisory Board alongside other BSS 2015 speaker Jane Campion, bringing a wealth of experience and generosity of spirit to our local industry.
