BLUE MOON
ART HOUSE PRODUCTIONS
“A film - especially when it's a personal film - is going to hit somebody or it's not. There's nothing you can do about it.”
– David Lynch
I have dedicated myself to the film industry for several years now, balancing my own passion projects while collaborating with other filmmakers.
This includes Writing, Producing and Directing my first independent feature film Mute, which allowed me to be a VIP at the Gold Coast Film Festival in 2010.
The variety of roles I take on has allowed me to gain a wealth of experience and build my skills in all areas of filmmaking.
My aim is to continue being passionate, professional and versatile in every project I pursue.
