Talk:Jennifer Peedom

Edit request

I am Jennifer Peedom, the subject of this article, and am disclosing my conflict of interest. I have not previously edited the article directly. I am requesting that independent editors consider the following factual and structural changes. I also noticed that the Talk page identifies an account named “Jenpeedom” as a connected contributor. I do not recall creating or using that account and do not know whether it was created by someone previously acting on my behalf. Lead and infobox The infobox currently lists my occupations as “Director, producer,” omitting my work as a writer. The opening paragraph also contains the typo “She as written,” does not mention Tenzing, and no longer gives a balanced summary of my work. I suggest changing the occupation field to “Film director, writer and producer” and replacing the lead with: “Jennifer Peedom is an Australian film director, writer and producer. She is known for the documentary films Solo (2008), Sherpa (2015), Mountain (2017), River (2021) and Deeper (2025). Sherpa won the Grierson Award for Best Documentary at the BFI London Film Festival and was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Documentary. Peedom produced the International Emmy-nominated television series David Stratton’s Stories of Australian Cinema (2017). She directed, co-developed the story for, and produced the biographical drama Tenzing, scheduled for release by Apple in October 2026.” Suggested sources are the BFI’s 2015 London Film Festival awards announcement, the BAFTA awards record for the 2016 documentary category, the ABC’s announcement of the International Emmy nomination, and Apple TV Press’s official Tenzing page. Tenzing The current sentence does not include my story or producer credits and describes the production mainly as a return to the Himalayas. I suggest replacing it with: “Peedom directed and produced the biographical drama Tenzing, from a screenplay by Luke Davies and a story by Peedom and Davies. The film stars Genden Phuntsok, Tom Hiddleston, Willem Dafoe and Caitríona Balfe, and is scheduled for release by Apple in October 2026.” Apple TV Press lists Jennifer Peedom as director, “story by” and producer, and gives a release date of 16 October 2026. Deeper The present paragraph devotes considerable space to three individual reviews, including two specialist diving publications, which seems disproportionate to the treatment of the other films in the article. It also contains the incomplete phrase “3 out of stars.” I suggest replacing the review material with a concise, neutrally worded summary of the film’s reception, while retaining both positive and negative critical assessments. The paragraph should also identify Alex Barry as co-director, subject to confirmation from the film’s published credits. Awards and recognition The dedicated section currently lists only the 2004 NSW Young Telstra Business Woman award and the 2011 David and Joan Williams Documentary Fellowship. More substantial film and television recognition is contained elsewhere in the article. Would editors consider either removing this separate section or replacing it with a short, independently sourced “Selected awards and nominations” table? Care should be taken to distinguish awards received personally from awards received by a film or program. Copy-editing and stale information The following appear to require correction or updating: “Peedom first film” to “Peedom’s first film.” “a collaboration the Australian Chamber Orchestra” to “a collaboration with the Australian Chamber Orchestra.” The internally inconsistent and dated box-office ranking for Mountain. The broken anchor for the 2009 AFI documentary award. The dated “as of 2024” wording in the Stranger Than Fiction section. The isolated one-sentence Teaching section, which could be folded into the career section. Thank you for considering these requests. I will not implement the changes myself and am happy to provide further published sources where needed. ~2026-39914-57 (talk) 04:37, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

I submitted the request above before realising that I was not logged into my registered account. This is my registered account, and I will monitor the discussion here. Thank you. WikiSherpa123 (talk) 04:47, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

For convenience, here are direct sources supporting the requested changes:

BFI: 59th BFI London Film Festival award winners confirms that Sherpa, directed by Jennifer Peedom, won the Grierson Award for Best Documentary.

BAFTA: Documentary awards lists Sherpa as a nominee in the 2016 Documentary category and names Bridget Ikin, Jennifer Peedom and John Smithson.

ABC: International Emmy Award nomination confirms that David Stratton’s Stories of Australian Cinema was nominated for the 2018 International Emmy for Arts Programming and identifies Jo-anne McGowan and Jennifer Peedom as its producers.

Apple TV Press: Tenzing gives the release date as 16 October 2026 and credits Jennifer Peedom as Director, Story By and Producer.

For precision, in the proposed lead and Tenzing section, I would be happy for editors to use Apple’s exact credit terminology, “story by,” rather than “co-developed the story.”

I hope these sources make the request easier to assess. Thank you. WikiSherpa123 (talk) 04:51, 16 July 2026 (UTC)
