Lizzie Cater, Development Producer

As a Queer person who grew up in a regional town, Lizzie is passionate about the representation of LQBTQIA+ voices and others that have been marginalized in the creative industries specifically. 

In her role as development producer at Easy Tiger, she works across a range of projects on their slate – among them is television series Sick To Death, created by her close collaborator Thomas Wilson-White, which she is co-producing with Alice Willison of Rhapsody Films and Easy Tiger. 

In addition to her in-house slate, Lizzie is developing the comedy series Shade, created and written by Gemma Bird Matheson and produced with Ratidzo Mambo, with the assistance of Screen Australia; and debut feature film Melaleuca by Jessica Barclay Lawton, based on the short film Zef which premiered on Nowness and has reached over 1.7 million views and participated in the TIFF Filmmakers Lab 2021. 

Previously, Lizzie produced Thomas Wilson-White’s feature The Greenhouse under the banner of their independent production company Everyone We Know; the film premiered at BFI: Flare and won the Audience Choice Award at the Mardi Gras Film Festival and Best Film at The Gold Coast and Melbourne Queer Film Festivals. Her short films include St. Augustine, which premiered in Official Competition at Melbourne International Film Festival; and Birdie, written and directed by Shelly Lauman, which premiered Internationally at Toronto International Film Festival, and was one of the first short-form projects acquired by Fox Searchlight. In 2022 Lizzie was one of two practitioners selected for Screen NSW’s Emerging Producer Placement and in 2019 she was selected as One to Watch by Screen Producers Australia.
