Freelance Film Director - Commercials, Content & Documentary

My career began as a video assistant on films like The Hobbit Trilogy, Fury Road, Wolverine, and Narnia - observing directors like Peter Jackson, George Miller, Michael Apted and James Mangold.

 

I then went on to work in-house for advertising agency TBWA Australia as a director and editor, where I discovered my natural instincts and love for narrative storytelling.  I now freelance as a commercial, content and documentary director with a focus on human stories and an unwavering conviction for authenticity.

 

My motto of “chase the truth” is something passed on from my father, a journalist of 40 years. It’s led to an approach to filmmaking that is about creating space for genuine and truthful moments, a sharing of ideas, a dropping of facades and a focus on real connection.
