a little about me.
I grew up on the Kapiti Coast of New Zealand where my passion for looking through viewfinders developed at the age of six, and hasn't stopped since.
From the creation of childhood stop-motion movies to now critically acclaimed and internationally successful short and feature films, my ideology when it comes to filmmaking has always been experimentation. I like to push the boundaries and break the rules in order to exceed my audience's expectations; only to communicate my narratives in new and bold ways.
After pushing myself to graduate high school 2-years early, I ended up leaving home at the young age of 16 to pursue a Bachelors Degree in Film and Television Production; the youngest applicant to enter the program to date. During this time I went on to create various short form narrative and documentary projects, before directing my debut solo feature at the age of 17.
Now, at just 24-years-old, I've completed my second film production degree from Columbia College Chicago and am developing my 3rd feature film, as well as a multitude of short narrative and commercial projects in Los Angeles. As a young and ahead-of-my-time filmmaker I'm not allowing my age to hold me back from opportunities to pursue my goal of creating ambitious and exciting feature films designed for major release and global enjoyment.
