I’m an Australian/Spanish Writer and Director, born and raised in Geelong. My heritage and personal experiences—including living with a mild tic disorder—shape my commitment to telling authentic stories and representing underrepresented voices.
My debut short film Lorne, starring Guy Pearce, premiered at the Palm Springs Film Festival, toured international festivals, and received multiple awards. Later distributed on the premium YouTube channel Omeleto, it attracted 270k views and garnered critical acclaim. Since Lorne, my short film Mad Martha—now available on SBS On Demand—has won multiple awards for direction and cinematography at international festivals. I've also expanded into documentary work and music videos, directing for artists like Aria-nominated Masked Wolf and acclaimed singer-songwriter Didirri, collectively reaching tens of millions of views. My video Skin earned a Best Director Award from ARFF Barcelona, along with Best Production and an Honourable Mention at the International Music Video Awards. I was also nominated for Best Direction in a music video at the 2023 Australian Directors Guild Awards (ADG) for Didirri ‘Often Broken’.
Currently, I’m developing a debut feature film with co-writer Taylor Adams, building on the success of Lorne.
BIO.
What I am about.
I put 100% of myself into my work and endeavor to create meaning in every piece.
I think my love for art, particularly film, started at a very young age, maybe 12 or so. I used to look forward to Christmas when all the extended family would come over to our house, and we kids would run off with mum's 3-megapixel camera and try to make movies! I remember the pure joy we kids had when we would finish the editing and show our parents these terrible movies. Of course, they were horrible, but it just sparked so much excitement in creating a story. It's funny to look back now as an adult at how confused our parents would have been in our storytelling.
Now I would say I am much more versed, but the excitement to make art is still the kid inside me.
It is an honor and a pleasure that my career is my passion. I hope to collaborate with many more of my peers in my field soon.
