A Bit About Me
I am a twenty-three years old graduate Bachelor of Screen Arts from Massey University. The three year course specialised me in scriptwriting and directing for film. My other qualifications include a diploma in film and animation from Yoobee Colleges. My time there taught me to use many industry level programs, including Maya, Nuke and Adobe Software like Premiere Pro, After Effects and Photoshop.
My journey in film started in high school, entering the International Silent Youth Film Festival with a black and white short film about the mysteries of the contexts of a briefcase. Selected to be an finalist and placing in the top ten of New Zealand. Combining my love of writing and editing, I also found joy in making films with my fellow actor friends and directing performances.
My graduating short film "When You See Me" is a thirteen minute sapphic romance that follows the love story between a poet and a painter. While I wrote and directed the film, I also put on many hats during preproduction. Editing, colourgrading and animating the stop-motion visual effects. This film made me expand my skills, exploring all the works of Divinci Resolve Studio and learning a animation software called DragonFrame in a matter of days.
My script supervisor journey came when I got the opportunity to working Continuity on-set. Working with Snap Shot Shorts to gain experience in the role. Since then, I have had the opportunity to be on eight different projects as a Script Supervisor and am now working alongside directors and writers to advocate for their vision on set and across post-production.

When You See Me | Romance Short Film
Writer, Director, Colourist, Stop-motion Animator
My graduating short film, I wrote and directed for my screen arts degree at Massey University.
Organising and executing the project. I was trained well by my lecturers and completed six days of filming at multiple unique locations.
In the post-production stage, I included stop-motion segments of a paint on glass technique that overlayed on top of the film. This required me to learn a completely new form of media as well as a software program Dragonframe. In a short timeframe I learned to program and animated over 300 frames in three days.
The Film is currently in film festivals.
