Based in Melbourne, Australia, I established Hysteria productions in the mid 1990's and launched into making music videos fresh out of RMIT. Working mainly as Director of photography, Editor and Visual Effects Producer I completed 10 music videos for both local and international artists such as Nox 'Leaving', Fragile 'A Million Shivers' and Valanti 'Minute On My Mind'. I also produced and directed the pop group Invertigo for their clip 'Man Enough', Marie Wilson in 'Rescue Me' and Russian rock band Bi-2 in 'The Aqua Wedding Song'.
Two years into Hysteria Productions I teamed up with Chris Daniels and began working to produce our first large-scale production, the concept Feature 'Lost- Black Earth'. Co-writing the script with Chris, I went on to direct, co-produce, edit, create the visual effects and produce the sound design, which eventually won 'Best Sound' award at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival.
I have now worked across a wide range of over 150 projects in various roles including, music videos, award winning short films, television commercials for clients such as Nissan, Ford, Toyota dealers, RACV, and Metal Corp among others. I have also worked on several Feature films as the second unit DP and visual effects supervisor on Reign in Darkness, Digital effects artist on Edge of the World and Editor and visual effects supervisor on Gates of Hell, which is currently in post-production. I've also made a few corporate productions when cash got tight, but we wont talk about them.. I have also accumulated a rather large assortment of fairly useless awards.
I have passion and fascination for movie making and have a thirst for learning everything I can about the technical and creative aspects. I'm also currently in the process of getting a new feature off the ground which I will direct later in the year.

El Camino Christmas (2017)
Good flick, not a comedy
The biggest mistake made with this movie was calling it a comedy. There are funny moments, but a comedy it ain't. It's a drama more than anything and a reasonably good one.
Nothing overly original but it was well done and held my attention and enjoyment for the entire story. Something that is very rare these days.
