A bit about me…

I want to make shorts and music videos that push barriers, move viewers and make them sit on the edge of their seats.
My passion for film has worried some people. At university I made an animation about a colour boy in a black-and-white world who saves a colour girl from a raindrop. The lecturer was silent and then said “Do you ever sleep?”
Since Graduating my films have been screened across Australia, in Melbourne’s Federation Square, Sydney’s TAP Gallery, Peatsridge Music Festival, and several times on national TV, on music show Jtv, and two years running in Australia’s New Year concert, The Falls. This year one short is being screened in London’s 2008 Portobello Film Festival the biggest indie-screening in UK.
I also design e-cards and animated adverts (one for The Australian Film Council’s Tasmanian branch).
When I'm not filming I'm writing for newspapers and magazines, The Australian, Triple j radio’s JMag and international magazines Colures and Knowledge. I also design book covers and designs for Australia’s swimsuit company Seafolly.
It’s an exciting journey that gives you ideas for your next short and it’s nice when someone encourages you to continue, like Margaret Pomeranz who sweetly said she’s looking forward to the feature!- and occasionally I sleep…
