Jolyon Zentner | SENIOR PRODUCER

If Jolyon’s Bio was a song (because anyone who knows Jolyon knows he loves to play his out of tune ukulele and have a bit of a sing along):

See below

VERSE 1 :
(light melodic, yet slightly out of tune Ukulele{uke}, slowly building to crescendo by end of verse)

He started life as a green young soul
Had no idea what was his goal
Searched for many a wasted year,
Until one day it became clear…

It happened in a year 12 class, one of few he had attended
A task was set, and he was off to film and cut and render
It was then that he discovered television was his calling
And after three long years of study, he was finally off and crawling.

An editor he had become and although it was quite fun,
He yearned for more than just to finish what others had so far done.

CHORUS :
(heavy thrashing Uke with awesome hardcore vocals…)

He was but an EDITOR.. yet he yearned to be a PREDITOR….. repeat 3 or 4 times….

VERSE 2 :
(slightly heavier and a fair bit more out of tune than first verse due to stretched nylon strings from heavy thrashing Uke in Chorus)

And with this drive and passion his skills and knowledge grew,
How to edit, film and write he now competently knew.

One day his journey took a twist that sent him overseas,
He landed in LA and set up new post facilities.
He worked for almost a full year as the head of post for Mindfreak.
His suites pumped out shows for major US networks every week.

Until one day his wife had shrieked, I’m, pregnant, I’m knocked up,
And they both agreed America was not the place to raise their pup…
So back they headed to their home across the great Pacific.
The baby born, a move, some work, ‘twas all a little frantic

CHORUS 2 :
(heavy thrashing Uke again with more awesome hardcore vocals…)

He was more than just an EDITOR.. but could he call himself a PREDITOR….. repeat 3 or 4 times….

VERSE 2 :
(getting almost unbearably out of tune due to further stretching of nylon strings from an even more vigorous thrashing of the Uke in Chorus 2)

So when the dust had settled and real life took hold.
he struck upon his own version of a pot of gold.
A man called Palmer called him up and offered him a job
He said sure thing, and now he’s running with this Castlemedia mob.

And this was when he realized that he’d found his tribe at last
A group that he could work with, unlike any in the past.
He loves to be a dad and a husband and a friend
But he also loves to take a project from the beginning to the end

He has now produced major shows for all the local stations
And not just here but overseas in many other nations
Many of these stories have been told with his pen
Where he has crafted words together in his air-conditioned den

And during this journey he believed in this one key
That evoking an emotion is how to make good tv.

SO now that he has proven he is worthy of the task
Need he ask the question that he’s asked in the past

CHORUS 3 :

(heavy thrashing Uke once again with more awesome wailing hardcore vocals…)

Am I a PREDITOR? I believe I am
Give me a challenge. I believe I can.

Repeat until fingers bleed or a string snaps….
