Light Eaters
A peek into Bundjalung country's microcosmos, featuring my favourite microalgae from the mountains to the sea.
Embedded Files
Light Eaters is my first short film made possible through the generous support of Blue World's Valerie Taylor Ocean Prize for Ocean Literacy and a creative collaboration with the Australian National Maritime Museum (Sea Museum), Sydney.
Together, these partnerships enabled me to bring science and storytelling to life, connecting students, educators, and communities with the hidden world of microalgae and their vital role in our waterways and climate.
The film was premiered at the 2025 Blue World Valerie Taylor Ocean Prize night and has since been screened at the Sydney Sea Museum and featured at the 2025 University of Technology Sydney Green Light Algae Pitch Night.
It is currently showing across local venues in the Northern Rivers and I welcome screening opportunities with aligned organisations. Please get in touch here for enquiries.
