Elizabeth Maree Tomkins (1 December 1982 – 26 May 2025) was an Australian film producer.
She studied at Queensland College of Art and Design, graduating in 2005, and later began work at Briz 31 Community Television, where among other roles she produced the station's flagship show Cinema. She subsequently left community television to pursue work on various films and TV series shot in Canada, South-East Queensland, and Far-North Queensland by companies including HBO,[1] FOX,[2] Dimeworth Films,[3] and Limelight International.[4]
By 2009, she had changed course to pursue independent producing and began as Production Manager and publicist of a low-budget thriller Sleeper. The film was developed by Brisbane-based production company Seven8 Media[5] and was distributed in North America and Canada by Celebrity Home Entertainment.[6]
This would lead to her producing Screen Development Australia funded short film Tender[7] which she developed with its Queensland branch QPIX.
In 2012, Tomkins and Judd Tilyard produced the short film Frame 137[8] which Tilyard also wrote and directed. The film is based on the comic of the same name crafted by The Crow creator James O'Barr[9] and the soundtrack features a collaboration of Iggy Pop's Dog Food by Dave Grohl and Nick Oliveri.[10] Other contributors to the soundtrack include Norwegian punk rock musician Happy Tom and The Dwarves lead guitarist Marc Diamond.
Tomkins died in a traffic collision on 26 May 2025, at the age of 42.[11]
