ABOUT US

ABOUT US

The General Public Productions is an FNQ based film and theatre company founded by lifelong friends Hannah Grace Fulton, Courtney Ammenhauser, and Kimberley Greaves. Hailing from the small coastal town of Mission Beach, the trio grew up swapping stories, creating backyard horror films and making each other laugh, which laid the foundations for a creative partnership that would one day become The General Public.

Dedicated to telling bold, female-led stories with heart, humour and a sprinkle chaos, The General Public specialises in comedy that makes light of the mundane — turning the ‘everyday’ into something unexpectedly funny and deeply human, while not being afraid to lean into the silly (it’s not a Genny P show unless there is an opening dance number & giant food costume).

From their sold-out theatre hit HOT MESS (set entirely in a club bathroom) to the sketch comedy nostalgia-fest NOUGHTY GIRLS (a national festival favourite and Adelaide Fringe award winner), the team has a knack for capturing the ups and downs of womanhood and female friendship with warmth and wit. Their most recent screen project, SHIN SPLINTS, a TikTok series developed through Screen Queensland’s Channel Lab: Short Cuts program, garnered over 100K views and 10,000+ likes, proving that these girls are ones to watch and only just getting started!

Through writing, producing and championing the work of other creatives, The General Public is building a body of work that’s seriously funny, fiercely feminine, and rooted in collaboration.

In 2021 she co-wrote, co-produced, and starred in HOT MESS, which had a successful sold-out season at Kings Cross Theatre and earned a 4-star review from TimeOut who wrote: "Hot Mess has all the best elements of a silver screen chick flick, grounded in a relatable contemporary Sydney context with a queer feminine edge."

    In 2023, she was selected for Screenworks’ ‘New Kids on the Block’ program to attend the Regional to Global Screen Forum in Lennox Head. Later that year she was selected for Screen Queensland’s FISS program (Film Intensive Script to Screen) where she was the lead writer on the short film Tullywell (Dir. Martha Goddard) and co-wrote the short film It’s Time (Dir. Martha Goddard) which won Best Narrative at the Understory Film Festival 2024.
