Film Projects:

As an aspiring filmmaker, I aim to craft small yet powerful narratives not only through writing but also through all facets of the filmmaking process. I personally thrive in a collaborative environment and take the initiative to bring my scripts to life!

 UNWOKEN (2026) - Pre-Production

Logline: Twin brothers, Henry and Sam, attempt to reconcile their differences over a car ride, but things quickly take a dark turn as fate has other plans for them.

'UNWOKEN' is a joint project with myself and director Mia Copeland for TROPFEST 2027 with a cast and crew of around 12 dedicated individuals. I cannot begin to express how excited I am for this project and for everyone involved. Currently, we are aiming to shoot the film in mid-August over 3 nights with an expected post-production completion date aimed at around December this year.

BABY SHOES (2026)

Based on the iconic 6-word micro-story by Ernest Hemingway, 'BABY SHOES' was the final assessment for my Certificate III in Screen and Media at TAFE. I wrote, directed and edited this short film and we shot the entirety of it over a single day. This project was challenging because it was my first time directing a drama and also because of the minimal preparation time we had but I firmly believe it fulfills my vision of this film which was to deliver an emotionally impactful experience.

 THE ANIMAL (2025) - Student Film

An insight into the paradoxical mind of an idealistic killer as he delves into his tormented psyche, shifting between facing the reality of his actions and hiding behind an animalistic persona. 

Directed by Mia Copeland.
