Films, Theatre, Comedy & Festivals

Production Portfolio

From producing film festivals with 500+ people, to directing short films with small, yet mighty teams, to managing venues, crew and actors, to assisting comedians with super gluing the head back on their blow up dolls - Let's just say, I've worked on a lot of creative projects.

This page is highlighting some of the projects I've worked on in a production role. If you're looking for someone to produce, direct or support your film, theatre show, comedy gig or festival, then get in contact and let's chat!

THE PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

The Adelaide 48 Hour Film Project

An annual film competition & festival that I co-produced between 2021 - 2024. The 48 HFP is an international film competition and festival that happens in cities all across the world. Each year, the Adelaide competition has over 500 people participate and attend events throughout the year. The industry has seen growth in career opportunities, creative connection and general support because of the festival. I love this project because it builds up our community and brings a lot of joy to a lot of filmmakers in Adelaide. Each year the City of Adelaide has supported the festival financially and through social media and word of mouth, the competition has grown to be one of the biggest filmmaking events of the year in the South Australian calendar.

In 2024, I went to the international competition as a city producer which was held in Lisbon, Portugal. The festival, Filmapalooza, had filmmakers from all over the world attend and I got to connect with them and the other city producers.

From doing the 48 Hour Film Project with my co-producer, Kristen, we also started a non for profit, Big Picture Club, to further support emerging filmmakers and film festivals

SLEEP IS FOR THE WEEK

House of Spaghetti

HEAD CHEF, NOT A RESTAURANT

House of Spaghetti was a venture I started with my very good friends tim&TIM. We wanted to have a space we could offer to freelance filmmakers to work, collaborate and create from. Partnering with Renew Adelaide, we were able to secure a big space on Hutt St, Adelaide for 2 years and offered hot desks, office and equipment hire and a space for people to work on projects or with clients. We ran the venue as an Adelaide Fringe space two years in a row and offered affordable rates for those who wanted to put on a show but otherwise might not have the means to. The space produced multiple films, festivals, theatre and comedy shows and allowed a community of creatives to grow. After our time at Hutt St, we moved to the ABC building in Collingswood for another couple of years and shared office spaces with other film and game productions.

Edinburgh Fringe

PRODUCTION ASSISTANT

In 2025 I had the pleasure of working with Country Mile Productions during the Edinburgh Fringe. During my role as the Production Assistant, I supported the production of 12 comedy shows including stand up, character and musical. Responsibilities included assisting with prop buying, tech rehearsals, show set-ups, and general performer needs. Contributed to marketing efforts by distributing and preparing promotional materials, managing paid social media adverts, photographing performances, and developing creative campaign concepts. Also provided day-to-day administrative and office support to ensure smooth operations across the month-long festival including the management and pastoral care of our street team.

Other Projects

Over the course of my career I have worked on a series of short films, and stage shows. I've been involved as a director, producer, performer, editor, videographer, facilitator, venue manager and have even gotten behind the tech desk a few times.

Some projects have won awards, some were just for a bit of fun. This is just a spot to pop a few photos from some of these!

If you have a film, stage show or any kind of creative project and are looking for someone to be involved as part of the production team then please get in touch. I'll even get on stage if you want me to!
