Garry Charny

With a background in corporate advisory, finance, theatre and the law, Garry was responsible for the merger of April Films and Macquarie Film and Television to create April Entertainment. He is the executive producer of Jindabyne. Recently, Garry co-founded Boost Media International - an Asia focused media business of which he is the Executive Chairman. He is also a director of The Apparel Group, owner of premium Australian fashion labels Sportscraft and Saba. He is a principal of Wolseley Corporate and Media, a leading Sydney-based corporate advisory house. In that role he has been responsible for advising on and investing in numerous media transactions including the building and running of the (now publicly listed) Macquarie Radio Network, the start-up of Macquarie Film and Television, and Ecomm—a General Electric joint venture in Australia. Prior to that, he practised for over a decade as a Sydney barrister.

He has produced and directed extensively for the stage and executive produced many hours of television. In addition to producing quality films, Garry’s other passion is horse racing and breeding. His current pride and joy is small black foal with a white blaze.
