With a career spanning over 20 years across the creative industries, Carly Houra’s skills sit at an impressive intersection of storytelling engagement, content production, organisational operations and strategic business management.
She has worked in both production-based and managerial roles in the film industry and in creative studios, leading large teams of creative and technical staff. She’s produced feature films, music videos, educational series, digital media and experiential projects, as well as high-end marketing campaigns. She has also led strategic-planning workshops and helped to shape creative businesses at every angle.
On top of film production, Carly has also worked in film financing and development, with coverage of hundreds of screenplays and in-depth consultations with award-winning writers, producers and directors. Her industry market and funding know-how means she understands what it takes to get an idea from page to screen. Her flair for storytelling, character insight and plot analysis, in combination with her production background, makes Carly’s feedback especially well-rounded and valuable.
Having lived in New York, Paris, Edinburgh and Dublin, Carly’s professional network is wide-reaching and her experience with different team dynamics and organisational cultures has further expanded her knowledge of operational processes and differences. Carly has also spent time working with not-for-profits and entrepreneurs, where funding challenges and tight budgets call for lateral thinking.
Now in the early years of parenting, Carly happily calls Melbourne, Australia, home with her partner and daughter. As founder of Silver Ladders, her aim is to continue to help independent artists and creative businesses rise to the top.
