Alan brings to the company his considerable talents in creative development and production and in the structuring of international co-productions and finance'.

Harris added: ‘Whether the adaptation of award winning, internationally proven comedy and drama for an Australian audience or the development in-house of series, mini-series or TV movies that can, in turn, be sold internationally or reformatted for a global marketplace, Keshet Australia has the support of production bases in Tel Aviv, London, Toronto and LA and access to in-house international distribution'.

Alan has wide experience in the UK, Europe, North America and Australasia in feature film and television and international co-production and media financing.
