I’m a documentary filmmaker with over 30 years of experience, originally from the UK, who spent much of my career working in Sydney and Melbourne. Recently, I’ve embraced a new chapter, relocating to rural Queensland, eager to explore this vibrant landscape and its communities.

Working as a one-person filmmaker means I bring a personal, low-key approach to every project. I believe the best stories come to life when people feel relaxed and themselves — not overwhelmed by a large crew or a scripted setup. By filming, interviewing, and editing personally, I get to know each story deeply and help it shine with authenticity and heart.

I’m passionate about creating films that celebrate the real people behind rural businesses, capturing the unique culture, challenges, and triumphs that make this region special. Whether you’re a small enterprise or a community initiative, my goal is to help you tell your story in a way that connects, inspires, and drives real impact.
In an era of AI creation, I’m proud to tell stories the old fashioned way. Stories that require me to travel to the story and experience it first hand and record what the people on site had to say first hand and then generate a story/video that tells this story in an authentic way, a way that connects with the viewer on a human level one that fosters understanding and interest.

Based in Toowoomba and covering the South West of QLD and beyond.
