From a young age, I’ve always loved watching movies. My journey began with toddler shows like The Wiggles, and grew through childhood favourites such as Star Wars and the Marvel films that shaped the MCU generation. Over time, my passion deepened as I discovered both local and prestige cinema — from La La Land and The Godfather to Mad Max, Walkabout, and Animal Kingdom.

​​

Becoming part of the film and television industry was never just a dream, it felt like something I had to do. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to work across a range of productions — Australian and international, large and small — spanning multiple genres and budgets. Along the way, I’ve also been developing my own projects, bringing my personal stories and vision to life.​

 

One of my favourite films is La La Land (yes, I’ve seen it at least ten times). A quote from the movie that’s always stayed with me is:​

 

“People love what other people are passionate about.”

​​

That line rings true not only for those of us in the film industry, but for anyone who pursues what they love — whether it’s art, sport, education, or technology. Passion connects us all.

​

So, I guess I’ll see you at the movies.
