Connecting Education to Industry – Richard Fabb

Sep 15, 2020

Meet Richard Fabb

Creative Director of LiveLab, the commercial production arm of Griffith Film School, Griffith University, Brisbane.
BAFTA and Royal Television Society award-winning producer.
Graduated with an Honours Degree in Drama, specialising in Film & Television from the University of Bristol.
Richard has produced a range of broadcast programs for ITN, Channel 4, CNN, RTE, ABC, SBS, Channel Seven, Channel Ten and The Comedy Channel.

The BAFTA and Royal Television Society award-winning producer speaks with Jason Raft, from JLX Productions and Iceworks Design, about his journey into the world of Film and Television and the role of Creative Director of Livelab & Senior Lecturer at Griffith Film School.

From the early inspiration of having ‘The Omen’ filmed in his hometown, to using his 26 years of broadcast experience to bring practical, industry-driven education to his students in Australia’s only University-based, commercial, production studio – LiveLab.

Richard shares his schooling and pathway into Broadcast Journalism and beyond, his mentors and teachers along the way and how his own experiences forged his teaching philosophy.

What does it take for students to make it in today’s industry during this time of disruption? What does industry want? And how building a network and making connections to industry while you are in school can make all the difference when it comes to starting your career.
