A COMPLETE FILM AND TVC DIRECTOR
More than 32 years of experience as a film director and videographer who owned 2 commercial production companies in Perth, Australia and in Indonesia is more or less like having a whole video production agency inside one person’s head. To my clients this means: the best video production services at really competitive rates.
FULL SERVICE VIDEO PRODUCTION
Whether your are an advertising / production company professional, a business owner or marketing professional, we can work together in some or all stages of video production to deliver an exceptional end product. My know-how is applied to TV commercials, online advertising, corporate videos and more.
My recent work
The Perron Institute – Hope
Filmed in 4 hours, this TVC stacks up proudly against way bigger budget spots surrounding it. Well done team.
Dementia ‘Supermarket’
This was one of three short films, the production of which I am most proud of, for many reasons. Firstly, I was dealing with a wonderful client in the City of Melville. They were most gracious and happy for me to guide them along the journey. It was a new experience...
Scotch College ‘Give to the Gooch’ Promotional Film

Cisco Systems Body Logic

Simonds Homes, The Great Australian Builder – Victoria
https://vimeo.com/513228611 This is big. Well, as far as effort put in, along with media reach and frequency, it's gi-normous. Reaching out across the eastern seaboard (and inland places). Great Melbourne crew with Production Manager Brendan Lee at the...
Jude Blereau – Wholefood Cooking Opener
I've been working with Jude Blereau a few years now, creating engaging videos based on her wholefood recipes to healthy living.
Forrest Personnel ‘Employer’
One of two commercials shot in Bunbury for Not-For-Profit organisation Forrest Personnel, with Producer Troy Zafer under the Zac Creative banner, via agency Likeable Creative. Top team effort. Great result.
Women in STEMM – Zoe Bradfield
This film is one of six I'm extremely proud of. They feature prominent women from Curtin Uni engaged in, and fulfilling, lifelong dreams to be in STEMM; Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine. Awe-inspiring stuff.
