After a while however it started to feel a little stale until a hunch from a director friend of mine.
He had seen I wasn't feeling it anymore so right before we were about to shoot the first scene of
a web episode he asked me to direct. I loved it, being responsible for shaping how a story could
be interpreted. From the characters representation to the style of the camera work. That was it
then, I would direct anything I could in and outside of uni. I even got involved with and getting to
help cast the leads for the award winning independent feature film 500 Miles.
Once uni was done however I then took time off film to work as a news video editor for a major
Australian television network. After a 2 year break from film I returned to reignite my passion.
The break gave me perspective in my abilities, I realised what I could be doing better and how
much harder I should be working. So with my new found perspective I was ready to hit the
ground running and start growing again as a director.
DIRECTORS NOTES
An Afterlife is my first film that will showcase my abilities. It's complex, arty and nothing like I'd
done before. Challenges that were presented, which would have once been met with trepidation,
were met with a stronger “bring it on” attitude. I am proud of the vision I have created for this film,
despite its opposing view to the writer’s vision. I feel I have captured my view of the afterlife as
presented in the script and I look forward to hearing audiences own interpretations. If people leave
If people leave the cinema arguing the "what ifs" of what happens when we die I'll have done my
job.
