Dan Lake is joining Screen Queensland as director of production investment on Monday November 3. Lake brings more than nine years experience in the Australian screen industry. During his tenure at Freshwater Pictures he specialised in production financing and contracting, international co-productions, marketing and exhibition.
A graduate of Bond University's film school he did the financing and legals on Richard Todd's documentary Frackman and worked on other Freshwater projects including The Burning Season and Sue Brooks' Subdivision.
"It's a great loss for me," said Freshwater's Trish Lake, who is Dan's aunt. "He brought in a lot of projects for development. But I am working with other young people like Ben McNeill, who is coming with me to the Ausfilm weeks in Los Angeles and London."

Thanks to Disney we have copies of Subdivision, the 2009 dramedy from director Sue Brooks and producer Trish Lake.
The film follows a Queensland family whose life – and that of their community – is turned upside down with the arrival of a big city corporate property developer. A former father (Gary Sweet) and son (Ashley Bradnam) team is at the centre of this conflict.
Subdivision is far from perfect, but its greatest contribution is having discovered Bradnam’s potential as a writer and leading man.
It is now available on DVD, and the theme song “So Said Muhammad Ali” by Abbie Cardwell is also available on iTunes.
To win, email encoregiveaways@gmail.com and tell us, have you ever worked with family members?...

Freshwater Pictures’ Subdivision (dir. Sue Brooks, prod. Trish Lake) will open in Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne this month.
The production company describes the film’s start at the box office – in Queensland and New South Wales in 2009 – as “shaky”, with “disappointing box office figures”, and says that distributor Disney has “given its blessing” to the new grassroots campaign.
The Perth/Wa release will be through the Movie Masters chain, with an Adelaide season kicking off with a premiere at Wallis Cinemas on August 9 prior to the opening on August 12. Melbourne will open on August 26.
A new trailer has been released on YouTube to promote the release of the film in these markets:
Since its original release, Subdivision has screened at St Tropez, London and Cannes Cinephiles, as well as Dungog in Nsw. It is one of the 19 features elibible for the AFI Awards.

Producer Trish Lake has confirmed that her film Subdivision will roll out in Perth (Movie Masters) and Wa regional cinemas from August 20, exactly one year after its original release in Qld and Nsw.
The film, which is currently screening at the Cannes Cinephiles program Cinema des Antipodes in France, will also screen in Adelaide.
Subdivision had a budget of $4m. It was released by Disney in August 2009, earning $206,350.
Lake is now in Cannes with director Sue Brooks (whose previous film Japanese Story was in competition at Cannes), ready to screen the fim at the Cannes market today.
“I feel as though I should get a loud hailer and stand on the Croisette to tell everyone about Subdivision. Instead we’re hitting social networks and the internet with news that it is playing,” she said in a statement.
The producer explained that she was originally disappointed by the Cannes Cinephiles mid-morning slot,...
