Films

As a writer and director, I’ve created short films across genres — from romantic comedy to documentary and dark comedy — each exploring resilience, humour, and the human condition.

My films (The Last Fortune Cookie, Art, Bars & Scars, and Not Like Me) have been selected for international festivals, and my screenwriting has gained recognition in global competitions.

See below for links and credits.

Short Film Projects

  • The Last Fortune Cookie

    Two ex-inmates Wayne and Mark, return to prison to exhibit their work in the Boggo Road Gaol Art exhibition. Both men use art as a form of self-rehabilitation after serving life sentences for murder and manslaughter and are strong advocates for the human rights of prisoners.
