About
I’m a writer–director based in Mt Maunganui.
I work across narrative and commercials, and I’m keen to stay actively connected to the local screen community. Between jobs I’m keen to jump on other people’s projects (ideally as 1st AD) and put my experience to use on the ground.
If you’re shooting around Te Moana-a-Toi and could use another committed, capable set of hands I’m keen to chat!
