Becoming an Independent Filmmaker

As I was discovering myself, my passions, and my hobbies, I came to the realisation that film was a platform that allowed me to combine all of my skills into one and create a truly beautiful result. The process of transforming a screenplay into an art form is the most satisfying and fulfilling feeling I can imagine.

The Journey through the moving image medium

When I was young I had always aspired to be an actor; to bring about a character and live in their shoes, to feel their emotions, and to perform as such in front of an audience. However, since then my motives had shifted as I concluded that rather than performing, I had a spark for creating and telling a story through a visual medium.

I started off my journey through writing and learning how to create a fictional world and tell a story to an audience after being inspired by Cargo (Howling & Ramke, 2017) in my book "The Journey". It was only a few years later that I felt comfortable enough to take my stories from written word to a moving image, the beginning to what would become my dream as a filmmaker.

Filmography

Where It All Begins (2024)

For my final year at University, I knew I wanted to direct a project as I hadn't done so since college. I came up with a concept over the summer and formed a crew around it. Where It All Begins is our proof-of-concept short film in preparation for our final film Dissonance, which is currently in post-production.

Maialino (2024)

After a dangerous patient escapes from a maximum-security psychiatric hospital, a young woman is forced to fend off and negotiate with a hysterical man trying to break into her house.

Maialino was the first short film that I properly produced, after having assisted in producing on many projects prior. I knew that producing was the role that I was most interested in, and was thrilled when the director accepted me onto the crew!
