"The film would not have made it to — and through shooting — without Kate's great tenacity, determination and leadership. Her dedication to the cause is unquestionable. I have never known a producer put in the hours or effort under pressure that Kate did, repeatedly pulling off results and leading from the front. The film eventually came in on time and under budget."
Peter Howitt — Director/Producer, Dangerous Parking
"I found Kate to be a thoroughly professional producer with a fabulous attitude to her work in that there were never any problems, just solutions. She kept the movie on time and on schedule. Suffice to say that I would not hesitate to work with Kate anytime any place."
John Eyres — Producer/Writer/Director, Irish Jam
"Kate Dain was indispensable in the development of my project; with her in-depth knowledge, extensive experience and her ability to make the numbers work to help realise the director's vision. Professional, reasoned and diligent, Kate has an innate ability to make the complex simple."
Oisin Tymon — Producer, Marauder Pictures
"She has an in-depth understanding of the special needs of co-productions, including their qualification obligations, tax structures and talent requirements. She has shown infinite patience and commitment each time the script, packaging or finance structure has changed."
Laura Sivis — Head of Production, Courage Films Pty Ltd
"She was extremely thorough, always put the project first and really understood what we were trying to do. She knows her own mind AND is flexible — just what you want in a line producer."
Anne Beresford — Producer, MJW Productions Ltd
"Kate is one of the very few who listens to what a producer needs and instead of altering the project to fit the spend, she finds a way to make the impossible possible on a budget that is never enough."
Lee Brazier — Director of Production, AV Pictures
"Kate is scarily efficient but delivers with a delicious wit and can do attitude. In a way I'm sorry to recommend her because it could mean she is not available when I need her."
Ken Tuohy — Producer, Ken Tuohy Productions
"Kate Dain has recently worked as Project Manager for the much-awaited photographic installation 'Thirteen' at The Royal Shakespeare Company. To say Kate's hardworking is an understatement. She has tirelessly worked beyond her expected hours to ensure the project's smooth and flawless build and execution."
George Chakravarthi — Artist, THIRTEEN
"Kate came to us very highly recommended. She has been brilliant throughout the process; she is committed, efficient and diligent, as well as being a fountain of knowledge, all of which comes along with boundless good humour and level-headedness."
Fred Hogge — Producer/Writer, Black Island
"She is also respectful of the creative and financial objectives for the film she works on, I therefore, wouldn't hesitate a second to recommend her to any of my peers."
Emilia Henriques da Silva — Producer, Paramita Entertainment
"Her talents make her the perfect person to work within any media environment anywhere in the world, acting at the highest capacity and with authority and knowledge! She is one of the best and most professional people I have ever had the privilege to have worked with!"
Duncan Thomsen — Writer/Producer, Happy Bus Films
"Kate Dain is a pleasure to work with. She comes with massive enthusiasm for the job as well as being extremely knowledgeable. Her budget really impressed our financiers. She continues to work with us as Line Producer and I will happily work with her in the future."
