About me

Hi I have now got a lot of paid work as an actor under my belt. And I still do extra work and unpaid roles. Now I am finally undertaking my ultimate dream of writing and producing my own films. I have finished my first 3 short films. 'The Haircut' which was shown at the SUNSHINE SHORT FILM FESTIVAL Oct2015. And 'The Lacist' which was made for Tropfest 2015. 3rd short film 'Wild 'Dreams'. I am especially wanting to do more directing. I have also directed 2 short plays for Short+sweet festival, Sydney.
