Cody Greenwood

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.
