Jeff Purser

Jeff Purser comes from a Corporate Sales & Marketing background. He spent time as Marketing Manager at Optus Vision Pay TV, during its start up phase in 1995, leaving as he was seconded to the ARL as Sponsorship Manager during the tumultuous Super League days.

Later Jeff joined SOCOG (Sydney Olympics) to become Business Development Manager, helping to finance the successful Sydney Olympics in 2000. His success in raising finance saw him offered the position of Sales & Marketing Director at South Sydney RLFC (The Rabbitohs), where Jeff was instrumental in fighting for their re-inclusion into the NRL, after being thrown out of the competition.

In 2002 Jeff entered the Film Industry and was successful in being part of the production team responsible for raising the finance and distribution for FAT PIZZA: THE MOVIE, which was to become one of the most commercially successful Australian films released in 2003. Additionally, in 2005 Templar films produced the low budget supernatural thriller SHADOW OF SINS.

In late 2006, Templar entered into a diversification process & made an entry into the Domestic and International Television market by shooting the TV Series - CLUBLIFE TV (Channel V May 2008), and LOVE YOUSE ALL (Channel 9/Fox Sports/Main Event June 2008). 2008 has also seen Templar diversify into the corporate/trade delivering work to organizations such as Paramount Australia, and Women's Cricket Australia.

2009 will see the release of the much anticipated feature film CEDAR BOYS, starring Rachael Taylor and Martin Henderson. The film will be distributed by Mushroom Pictures and was financed by the Australian Film Commission, The NSW FTO and private investors.
