By backing his own taste, and with a flair for finance, the Australian producer is making films and TV series that stand out from the crowd.
The couple arrived together in Australia from South Africa in 1976. Five years later, Brian founded the investment house Equitilink with his cousin-in-law Laurence Freedman. In 2004, he founded the animal rights advocacy group Voiceless with their daughter, Ondine. More recently, the Shermans have concentrated onwell before my father passed away, but there’s no doubt that every project that See-Saw’s involved in, that I get involved in, you bring yourself to it,” says Sherman.
Sherman in 1991 at 18 years of age. He studied arts law at university but also had a knack for finance.Sherman followed his mother’s humanities bent, studying arts law, majoring in English literature, cultural theory and philosophy. His bonus talent, finance, came every bit as naturally. “I grew up talking about the stock market and options and futures,” Sherman says.
It was that combination of skills, says Vogelman, that enabled him to change his modus operandi when he hit a wall in 2014. “He has that laser focus that a lot of high achievers demonstrate. He knows what the objective is, and he goes out and seeks it. But as with most high achievers, in the pursuit of the objective there is always a personal cost,” Vogelman says.“Most people just go, ‘I need to be more resilient’.
It says everything that Campion, a famously reluctant interviewee, is happy to break cover to talk about Sherman. Not least how his particular superpower as a producer – that ability to manage wide-ranging variables, keep all the balls in the air – feels to the produced. “Emile used to want to come and talk to Gerard Lee [Campion’s co-creator and writer on TOTL] and me when we’d written a script or something, and we’d have a lunch,” she says.
