Director & DOP for 11 years now. In total, I have Shot & Directed FOUR 'Ob Doc Broadcast TV shows' and all up TWELVE Ob Doc Budgeted TV pilots. It all involves Conjuring up Stories on the spot, writing the Voice Overs in Post and having a knack for bringing something to life. Inbetween what feels like a 1000 Corporate Videos. So how did it all begin? I started my 1st TV Broadcast Credit with a Show I was the 'DOP' and 'Director ' for, called Search4Hurt, which was sold to ESPN. A gruelling Fitness ObDoc Series. During this time I was mentored by ESPN’s Host of ‘Aussies Abroad’ at the time Jason Bennett for two seasons before moving on. He taught me how to tell a story better while I Shoot, Direct and Post Produce. My work caught the eye of Post Op Group, the largest Post House Facility in Australia who do all the big shows like ‘The Block’, ‘My Kitchen Rules’ etc. They decided they wanted to start making their own TV shows for the first time under the name KlinikTV and hired me as their 'Director / DOP' I helped construct seven TV Pilots with Aussie celebrities during my time there and one Broadcast 'DOP' Credit on CH 7. I was heavily trained and mentored daily by great and very experienced TV producers in the industry that worked there. My Freelance career started after this creating High-Corporate videos too grueling Ob Doc shows. I have travelled the world Shooting and Producing from Antarctica to Mt Everest Basecamp and all around our great land Australia. Now about to film my fourth Feature Film.

I recently directed There Goes Our Neighbourhood, a documentary commissioned by ABC with finance from Screen Australia, Create NSW and Pozible crowdfunding. The film captured a community light sculpture project and social action campaign developed by the residents of Sydney's largest public housing estate at Waterloo. The project reached over half a million people, and put a human face to the public housing debate, as questions arise about the redevelopment of inner city estates in Australia and globally. Currently I am producing a theatrical documentary feature about Wanita, 'Australia's Queen of Honkytonk', a chaotic, talented country music singer who after 47 years of imagining and hoping, is taking one last glorious stab at stardom in the USA. An entirely unpredictable story about the chaos of human 'dreams' and Wanita's unique journey to leave her mark. As a producer and director I empower the subjects I collaborate with, focusing on artists, communities and social change. I have the advantage of having worked extensively with the arts sector, which has made me a unique storyteller. I am able to identify meaningful narratives that connect with audiences while also balancing the intentions of a project, with the logistics. I have directing, producing, project management, curating and writing experience. After training in Documentary at AFTRS, I have worked in various roles as a creative producer, director and researcher for television, digital agencies and independent films. I am motivated, hardworking and perceptive. Experienced in wrangling big ideas, significant budgets and tight deadlines. Tell me about your project!
