I am an A to Z video producer and filmmaker, experienced in all aspects of production.

I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to create films and videos for well known brands such as Qantas, Aveo and Suncorp.

In 2013 my short film, Inside, was a celebrated Tropfest finalist. Sydney Morning Herald Film critic, Giles Hardie, wrote, “It was Inside that stood out from the pack, with a blend of colour, emotion and madness that was worthy of its Wizard Of Oz style final image”.

Recently my short film, Earl’s Town, was awarded with the Screen Queensland Short Film Award at the Brisbane International Film Festival.

In 2011 I was a last minute “on-set” replacement director on the low budget Australian teen drama, Circle Of Lies. Empire Magazine called it “An authentic teen drama that speaks directly to its audience”.
