CPL staff are industry professionals, technical magicians, filmmakers, producers, sound makers and production designers. We work closely with students, researchers and artists to develop new work and we program a range of inspiring events throughout the year.

Su is also an independent filmmaker. Her most recent project is the feature documentary, which she wrote and directed, The Last Goldfish which premiered at Sydney Film Festival in 2017 and has screened around the world. Info: https://www.thelastgoldfish.com/
