Cody Greenwood

Cody Greenwood is the founder of Rush Films. Recognised by Screen Producer's Australia as 'One to Watch', Cody has since earned herself a reputation as one of Australia's most promising film producers. Having created award winning documentary and short films that have garnered international acclaim at festivals, Cody's latest feature documentary 'Under the Volcano' premiered at SXSW and is being distributed globally by Universal Pictures. Directed by Gracie Otto, the film tells the story of the legendary Beatles producer Sir George Martin and AIR Studios, the recording studio he built in the Caribbean in the 1980's. It became a sanctuary for some of the world's biggest recording artists; where the likes of Elton John, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Dire Straits, and the Rolling Stones created some of their most iconic music within the studio's four walls. Cody has spent the last decade working alongside some of Australia's most prominent diverse storytellers to create authentic and thought-provoking content. As an advocate for fostering diversity from every corner of the industry, Cody believes the arts is a critical pathway to driving social change.
