Following a successful career as a writer and communications consultant in the finance industry, Joan Robinson has been producing, writing and directing documentaries for ten years. Her first documentary, Froggie's Gone was a popular inclusion and finalist in numerous film festivals throughout Australia, including the ATOM Awards, and was overall winner of a Sydney Fringe Film Festival.

Since then, Joan has produced, written and directed another six documentaries, including a short documentary shot in a remote East Timorese village and two documentaries commissioned by the Electrical Trades Union - Standing Together, which is a case study of an industrial dispute, and Hold the Line , which takes the viewer inside one of Australia's most powerful unions as it takes on the Australian Government's draconian industrial relations laws.
