Art is meant to evoke emotions, provoke thought and challenge perspectives

and that's what I dream of doing with my films.

Sports has also uniquely molded my filmmaking, in substance and mentality. Sport is experienced by billions every day. It's a tension rich environment and one of the greatest avenues for people to feel strong emotions. Hence, I'm inspired to combine my love for sports with clever twists and layered storylines to tell a great story capable of moving audiences. Mentally, I'm a born competitor. I make films with the same tenacity that athletes go out and compete for trophies with.

What I love most about directing is watching a story slowly coming together. The ability to develop a vision, bring together a team of people who are great at what they do, and give each one a piece of a larger blueprint is an addictive process.

I'm a Sydney-based writer, director and creative producer obsessed with drama storylines that have a clever twist. Humans are born storytellers, and I am no different. I learnt from a young age that I have a knack for telling stories, which grew into a passion and desire to create, share and consume narratives, Now, I strive to do so with an athlete's mentality and a lawyer's critical lens.

My Law background has added a uniquely humanitarian perspective to my filmmaking. My passion for law comes from advocacy: The ability to empower myself and others to protect their rights and dignity has always appealed to me. That very same fire for advocacy flows into my filmmaking, which I see as a medium for shedding light on issues around the world, big or small. As I near graduation from my LLB, I also see the critical thinking skills I've developed as a toolkit to unpack the world around us. Conflict is everywhere, and an in depth understanding of the various legal frameworks that make up society gives me a unique edge in crafting more authentic, impactful stories.
