One of the independent TV production sector’s most successful collaborations is coming to an end with Anita Jacoby reported to be departing Zapruder’s Other Films, the company she created with Andrew Denton.

ZOF merged with Cordell Jigsaw earlier this year.

ZOF’s many successful productions have included The Gruen Transfer, Enough Rope and Hungry Beast. The company is also responsible for Can of Worms, Randling and ABC1’s Country Town Rescue.

Jacoby told The Australian: “I only came together with Andrew for 13 weeks to make Enough Rope but it lasted 11 years.”
