OUTSIDE THE FRAME
Captivated by the magic of the moving image from the age of ten, I became fascinated by what could be created inside the frame.
Producing more than twenty films before leaving school, earning festival awards and filmmaking scholarships, and progressing from doing everything myself to leading increasingly ambitious production crews, I found the place where I felt most at home.
But it took much longer to recognise the quieter voice that kept drawing me beyond the frame—towards the people, the process, and the role I could play in bringing together the talents of those in and around the frame to create something greater than any one person could achieve.
Over the past fourteen years, that curiosity has taken me through television promotions at Network TEN, educational filmmaking at Deakin University, live sports broadcasting, performance videography, and productions ranging from commercial shoots to nimble television environments and major feature film sets.
Whether leading a crew or independently producing, filming and editing a project from concept to completion, I’ve found my greatest satisfaction in helping people communicate—translating complex ideas into stories audiences genuinely understand, giving contributors confidence on camera, and creating environments where people feel empowered to do their best work.
That’s what continues to draw me back, whatever the story, the setting, or the scale of the production.
