Kia Ora!

Originally from Christchurch New Zealand, I moved to Sydney in 1995 to study at the Australian Film Television & Radio School. While there I directed and designed several award-winning short films that screened in Australia and around the world. After graduating I worked as a designer and art director on TVC’s, music clips, drama and stop motion animation for many years.

Over the last ten years I have concentrated solely on directing, working predominately in television. My desire to direct drama has manifest in several short films and also lead me to direct some theatre. More recently I spent four months in Vancouver working on the set of Battlestar Galactica with director Michael Rymer. Inspired by my experience I came back to Australia more determined than ever to pursue my passion. I have just optioned the novel Jasper Jones by Perth writer Craig Silvey and I am currently developing the screenplay of this novel for my first feature film.
