Our Team

Pete Crossley

Pete has a depth of vision and a broad networking ability. These strengths give Fotomedia direction, continuity and dynamic evolving outcomes. Pete project manages and acts in the role as producer for all projects undertaken. We believe that by combining experts in their field we can offer our clients the best possible solution. Pete began his consulting career in Civil Engineering in 1980, and went on to realise the lack of presentation skills that exist within the industry. PBC Design Consultants then launched PBC Design Studios to focus on Video and Multimedia production, and now has formed the dynamic group of foto media. Our group has grown to what it is today by offering a flexible approach to all projects undertaken. We have extensively worked with State, Local Government and private industry.

Jude Kalman

From humble beginnings of writing, directing and shooting short films in high school and uni I some how stumbled onto the set of Scooby Doo which opened the door to many great adventures in the wonderful world of Hollywood film making. I walked the red carpet for Moulin Rouge and assisted on Big Brother still shoots. My hand even made it on the big screen in a horror film. I've been fortunate enough to get up close and personal to Pete Murray on a film clip directed by Linc. I also worked on a couple of kids programs... never work with kids or animals! opps! After a couple of years of shooting and editing my own projects (which often included children and animals!) I now find myself taking stills, filming and editing with the creative team at Fotomedia.
