I am a multi-hyphenate video production specialist with a decade of experience working with enterprise and government clients across the full spectrum of video content.
I wrote and directed the action-adventure film Rough Stuff which was released in Australian cinemas by Umbrella Entertainment in 2017 to wide acclaim.
I am on a journey towards a career as a feature director, however I still enjoy working on all sorts of video content as a director of photography, editor and director.

eLearning Specialist
In 2007 I founded Progressive Pictures, which encompasses a range of video services from creative development and production to live event coverage and corporate video. By 2012 Progressive Pictures had grown to become one of Sydney’s premiere Corporate Video production houses, having worked on major training and communication projects for Endeavour Energy, QBE Insurance, Stockland Group, the NSW Government and many others.
​
In 2012, I first partnered with eLearning company 2and2 to write, direct and produce all video for the Lend Lease EH&S Passport program, which went on to win the prestigious Platinum LearnX Award and “Best in Class” at the U.S. Interactive Media Awards. In early 2013, Progressive Pictures and 2and2 continued their collaboration on the Energy Efficiency Assist program for the Australian Industry Group and the Difficult Conversations education tool for the Fair Work Ombudsmen.
Other projects include SAFEMinds and Disordered Eating programs for Headspace, aimed at promoting mental health in young Australians. Most recently I worked with Prema Smith on the Gatekeeper for Black Dog Institute, an online resource designed to provide guidance for recognition and intervention for those displaying suicidal tendencies.
The following is a video I produced in collaboration with Ten Alphas and 2and2 demonstrating my approach and featuring clips from many of my eLearning projects.
