Rob Woodburn CEO
Rob Woodburn has worked in talent representation, marketing, and brand-building in the US & Australian entertainment and sports industries for over a decade. Recognising the demand for a dynamic and professional approach to talent management and production in Australia, he founded Woodburn Sweitzer Management (WSM) in late 2009 together with his business partners (see below). Rob’s expertise for matching the right talent with the best projects is derived from his extensive experience which includes ROAR, Paradigm, and William Morris Agency (now WME) prior to relocating from Los Angeles to Australia in 2006. He prides himself in the ability to surround himself with the brightest and most driven individuals in their given fields, which is the foundation of WSM. Rob is a graduate of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Sciences. He is also a former NCAA collegiate baseball player and a U.S. Navy Veteran.
Keith Sweitzer Head of Production & Literary Management
Keith Sweitzer has worked in development and production since he moved from Dallas, Texas to Los Angeles in 2001. His career began at Verna Harrah's Middle Fork Productions and following this, he moved on to work for producers Beau Flynn and Tripp Vinson at their New Line based production company, Contrafilm. Here, Keith was a part of the development and production of the feature films AFTER THE SUNSET, THE EXCORCISM OF EMILY ROSE, THE GUARDIAN and THE NUMBER 23. Following Contra, he worked as a television and feature film development executive at the Warner Bros’ based, Fort Hill Productions. Prior to partnering with Rob at WSM, he was developing and packaging feature films and television through his company, Maydellelane. Like Rob, Keith felt there is a need for an innovative management and production company in Australia with strong Hollywood ties; specifically one that is experienced and aggressive on the literary side, and one that diligently works to develop and nurture their clients and material. Keith is a graduate of the University of Texas with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English.
