Producers Andrew Mason and Greg Coote have been appointed to the board of the Macquarie Film Corporation as the company gears up to release its second prospectus in March.

Macquarie is one of two Australian companies awarded licences to raise A$20m ($12.6m) in concessional capital to help grow the film and television industry. Another addition to the board is long-time television executive Greg Kinging.

Mason and Coote have both spent much time recently working on offshore production and co-productions.
