Jayson McNamara

A filmmaker in his own right (‘Norita’, 2024; ‘Messenger on a White Horse’, 2018), Jayson is Mint’s archive researcher.
 
Born in Western Australian, Jayson was smitten by his dad’s VHS tapes as a young child. He then worked as a newspaper journalist and deputy editor in chief for English-language news publications, including the prestigious Buenos Aires Herald.
 
He then honed in on archive under the stewardship of senior Australian archive producer Lisa Savage, who mentored him for 3 years.
 
Among his credits are Great Australian Road Trips for Mint Pictures (SBS, 2025), The Secret DNA of Us for Eureka Productions (SBS, 2025), and Tony Armstrong’s Extra-Ordinary Things for Fremantle (ABC, 2024).
