OUTGOING Screen Queensland boss Tracey Vieira has announced her next move, jumping ship to well known Brisbane production company Hoodlum Entertainment.

Hoodlum yesterday confirmed Ms Vieira would begin work as chief content officer with the company from September 30, having finished her five and a half year tenure as chief executive of Screen Queensland last week.

She will work alongside co-founders Tracey Robertson, who is based in Los Angeles, and Nathan Mayfield as well as chair Deanne Weir – a team she has worked closely with in her time with Screen Queensland and formerly Ausfilm.

Hoodlum is behind Australian dramas Five Bedrooms on Channel 10 and ABC’s Harrow, the first production from a deal with Disney’s ABC Studios International, as well as Tidelands, which was Australia’s first global Netflix series.

Ms Vieira worked closely with Hoodlum in order for both Harrow and Tidelands to film in Brisbane and she will likely still be championing Queensland’s burgeoning film industry in her new role.

Hoodlum is also developing a female-driven series, telling Shakespearean stories from a female perspective, in conjunction with Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap Entertainment.

Despite her contract extending until February, Ms Vieira announced her resignation from Screen Queensland in July citing personal growth as her motivation for stepping down from the top job.

It came after a record year for Queensland, with 32 productions generating $262 million and creating 2600 jobs.

“It’s easy to get comfortable in these jobs and I ¬actually think it’s really ¬important to not do that, for the organisation as well as me personally,” Ms Vieira said at the time.
