His profession as an actor makes Hugh Jackman an expert in the field. The Australian man, a year after launching his Seed Productions company in the United States, has now opened a Sydney office, launched August 15th at the Rocks in Sydney.
As he's doing so, Jackman becomes more committed to film industry, and with the help from his actress wife Deborra-Lee Furness and business partner John Palermo, is planning to produce at least five Australian films a year with a production budget of under $10 million for each project. They, moreover, also plan to make stage productions as well as television.
