Brett Smi joins ARRI Australia as General Manager

Responsible for Australia and New Zealand

SYDNEY, 7 July 2016 - Well known industry stalwart Brett Smith has joined ARRI Australia as their new General Manager. Smith who brings with him over thirty years experience in the film and TV industries will be responsible for the sales, service and support of all ARRI product lines including ALEXA, AMIRA and ALEXA Mini cameras, Alura lenses and the full range of lighting across Australia and New Zealand.

Smith said, It's an honour to be given this opportunity. The ARRI Australia team is so well respected throughout ANZ for its unequalled service expertise and depth of product knowledge. The result is strong relationships with local customers and partners, and an ongoing and active support for societies like the ACS, AFTRS, NZCS and SMPTE.

Smith has had an extensive career in film and television most recently with Tiffen where he was Asia-Pacific manager and solely responsible for significantly growing sales of the company's film and TV acquisition products across the region. Prior to Tiffen Smith, also a former board member of SMPTE Australia, had successful roles at Australia's Nine TV Network, Miller and Codan Broadcast.

Smith concluded, ARRI's product range, brand and commitment in the market are second to none. Whether they are helping an owner operator DOP, dealing with a rental house or providing cameras and equipment for some of the largest TV and movie productions in the world the level of quality, dedication and professionalism is always of the same incredibly high standard. This is something I intend not only to carry on but improve wherever possible. I will also continue to grow ARRI's already strong relationships with local customers and organisations across Australia and New Zealand, provide a mentoring role to young innovators and create new opportunities for all the new products and product evolutions ARRI launches.
