INCOMING, a 6 part web series is currently in post-production. Season Two is in the early stages of development. Brothers, produced by Emma Hunt at Little Red Fox Productions, directed by Peter Newling, featuring Daniel O’Kane and Liam O’Kane, premieres in Melbourne later this year.

I started writing full-time for film, TV and theatre after completing a PhD in animation. I’ve been lucky enough to work with some great storytellers, including – Aardman Animations, Rising Sun Pictures, Warp X, Lampshade Collective, Optimism Film and December Media. 

Great Barrier Reef, IMAX, narrated by Eric Bana and produced by Emmy and BAFTA-winning studio, December Media is touring internationally. I have a trilogy of short films, based on my stage play ‘Strawberry’, produced by Choo Choo Productions receiving a successful festival run. Including a world premiere of Half of Me at St Kilda Film Festival and nominated for Best Screenplay at Maverick Film Awards. All of Me reached the final at Lorne Film Festival and all three films were officially selected for Sydney World Film Festival and Geelong International Film Festival.

Strawberry has been published with Australian Plays and had a world premiere season run in 2019, Williamstown Little Theatre, Melbourne, Australia.  Half of Me, a one-act monologue, was one of six selected for the PlaySix Festival.  Be Someone Today, a one-act play, has been selected by Manchester ADP ‘Script Aloud’ (2019) and was shortlisted (reaching top 7%) Supernova 8 Festival of One-Act Plays, Bench Theatre, UK. Rocket (2019) was selected for Madwomen Monologues, Baggage Productions and one of 20 selected Voices of Women Live Articulate (2020).
