Xavier O’Shannessy is a producer, performer and writer. He secured his first agent at 15 and proceeded to have a career as Australia’s least successful child actor. After falling into production work in 2011, Xavier found that he loved making art happen and thinking strategically to ensure that creatives have sufficient resources to realise their vision – and then making sure that people see it. He has produced award winning projects for Gold Satino, is associate producer at Bureau of Works and moonlights as a copywriter. Xavier is also meandering through an Associate Degree in Professional Writing and Editing at RMIT and a Grad Dip of Business (Arts and Cultural Management) at Deakin University.
