About me
For the past 11 years, my mission has been to learn firsthand the many languages of filmmaking so I can communicate with my cast and crew to create engaging stories. This challenge has seen me acting as a director, cinematographer, editor, and animator of commercials, music videos, fashion films, and award-winning short films. I have collaborated with various production and post-production companies such as itv, Film Boldly, Lone Wolf, The Gingerbread Man, and Medium Rare for an eclectic array of clients including Universal Music, 604 Records, Nike, Qantas, Vogue, Coles, Sydney Dance Company, and The Brandenburg Orchestra. My dedication and reputation for storytelling has catapulted me from Sydney to New York, Paris, Barcelona, Vancouver, and now I'm settled in London. Six of my shorts have been selected to screen in international film festivals such as VIFF, Flickerfest, and Big Sky Documentary Film Festival. I have been awarded Best Editing at VWIF, People’s Choice at UK Indie Festival, a Vimeo Staff Pick, the MINT Spirit Award, and the chance to take part in TEDx Sydney as well as the Berlinale Talent Development program in Germany.
