His 2005 film 'Crossing' was shortlisted for Sydney's Tropfest. In the same year, he directed a series of music videos for Russell Crowe in the south of France.
In 2006, he moved to Los Angeles and in between editing promos and commercials, cut two narrative features, 'Borderlands' and 'The Loneliest Road In America'. I also directed and edited the feature documentary, "The Fall of Occupy LA".
He returned to Brisbane in April 2015 with a deep body of work and rejoined Cutting Edge as Senior Editor.
In 2018, he became a Lecturer in Film at QUT Creative Industries and subsequently began a PhD in small crew filmmaking. He still edits casually for Cutting Edge and is pursuing his own short film and feature projects.
