About

I make moving pictures, move people. I’ve been a filmmaker since I made my first ‘real’ film in 2002 when a few friends and I disappeared into the woods and came back with a film about being a teenager, letting go, and monsters. Since then I have been privileged to work all over the world and create films with some of Australia and South Africa’s top actors and creatives, while celebrating the opportunity to produce works that are built on a foundation of generosity and seek to move people to think, feel and care a little bit more. Following my graduation from the directing course at AFTRS in Sydney, I moved to South Australia where I have established and scaled a creative video agency that strives to tell brand stories in new and imaginative ways. Through various projects I have worked closely with CEO's and Executives from some of Australias largest organisations, working to create video, branding and marketing strategies that deliver focused brand messages that deliver results. In and around running a business I continue to write, direct and produce narrative films of all shapes and sizes. Super Sounds, my last short film (about childhood and the power of friendship) screened at 40+ festivals, picked up more than one award, and most importantly made people smile. I’m also the co-founder of the Adelaide International Youth Film Festival where I wear a few different hats and am privileged to mentor young filmmakers through the craft and business of filmmaking.
