Tegan John’s story is one of red carpets and red dirt. A seasoned film distribution and exhibition professional, her 25 years of experience in film PR, marketing, and events have taken her across Australia, promoting films and rubbing shoulders with Hollywood’s A-list. Since relocating from Perth to Bolgart in 2018, she has been living and supporting her husband’s family on a 4th generation Merino sheep and cropping enterprise. Both roles leave her feeling immensely fulfilled—she assures us that there are more similarities between managing a chaotic red carpet and working sheep in the yards than one might think.
Recently made redundant from her dream role as WA Publicity Manager at Universal Pictures when the local office closed, Tegan knew her years of experience couldn’t go to waste. She set the wheels in motion for a new project, merging her passion for the screen industry and rural life.
