Tamara Anghie

Tamara Anghie has been working in the film and new media industries for the past 12 years. While completing a Degree in Film & Media Studies in Melbourne, Australia, she wrote, produced, directed and edited several short film & video productions, including a final degree piece, a 12 minute short film, “Baby Blue”. She has co-produced several other low budget short films & music videos and has worked on public television as a news & current affairs producer and as a camera operator and editor.
Tamara has worked as a production assistant for several film companies which have taken her all around Australia and South-East Asia working on television commercials, corporate videos and promotional travel documentaries.
Having discovered the power of Macintosh computers, she merged her interest in film with technology and began a career in new media, working as a production assistant on one of the first multimedia & CD-Rom productions in Australia in 1993.
Since moving to the United Kingdom in 1994, Tamara worked freelance for the BBC, MBC, Channel 4 and for several production companies on corporate videos, before continuing on the new media path.
After producing two highly acclaimed “edutainment” CD-Rom productions for FIG/Flagtower Publishing, Tamara’s interest in the more visual medium re-surfaced which led her into the computer games industry. Working for the Psygnosis/Sony Entertainment Group as a Producer, she produced PC and console games including “Wipeout 64”, before accepting the role of Producer of the Games Channel for the Interactive Services arm of telecommunications giants, ntl.
Finding the existing world of television interactivity creatively stifling, Tamara returned to film-making and is working as a producer and production manager on several documentary and short film projects in Ireland.
Recent productions include production management of The Simon Communities of Ireland promotional shorts which will be aired on television, in festivals and potentially cinemas in 2004 and a 17 minute, 35mm short titled, “Missing”.
