This was a video I felt compelled to make after listening to James Ihas solo album. In fact, this is the first thing I ever shot or directed.
I think James Iha's music is fantastic (even the two B-sides MY ADVICE and FALLING are brilliant) and I hope he enjoys this clip.
All The Best

Made for $30 in four hours. My arm was busted at the time so Liana operated the camera. Thanks Liana!
This is a class exercise we did for Uni. Troy Fleming was the director, Matthew Buttsworth was the sensational editor and I did the cinematography. We decided to play the scene as if it was a horror film. Hope you like it. Budget was $70!
A Music Video I did in collaboration with Robin Terry about four years ago. He had written a collection of songs and wanted to do some clips for them. He would handle the storyline for the clip and I would take care of the shooting of it.

The first film trailer for a romance script I've written that I'm hoping to get funding for. Only had a crew of two and had to act while doing the lighting aswell. Not a good move. I hope you like it. Please let me know what could make it better.
This was the 2nd clip to be inspired by this piece of Enya music!
A fellow COFA student takes a walk at night through UNI and I try and making it interesting using camera angles, lighting and editing.
A young woman arrives home to fine chocolates, flowers and champagne laid out for her. It's Valentines Day.
This was shown as part of the Shorts around Sydney Film Festival 12/04/2007
This short clip was inspired by Enya and the desire to see if I could find an interesting way to film just the everyday things around me. I think Enyas music is just fantastic and I hope she doesn't mind me using it for this clip. She inspires creativity through her beautiful sounds.
I didn't actually direct this one. I was banned after having made SC100, a 3:30 film when we were supposed to make a 30 sec ad. But I did write it and made the main prop aswell.
I asked Matt to direct it and got the ever fantastic Adrian Snodgrass to act in it. Him and Mara were quite good in the main parts. Unfortunately I was quite terrible as the salesman.
