Portfolio
Documentaries, short films, virtual production, animation, music videos and sound design, plus design and 3D work, much of it made during my Bachelor of Film at AIT in Sydney.
Featured work
Each film plays as you reach it. Press Watch for the full version.
A documentary about the lives of non-binary pole dancers, and how they use movement to challenge gender norms and embrace authenticity. Through personal stories and captivating performances, the film shows pole dance as a powerful tool for self-expression, resilience and liberation, and celebrates the beauty of non-binary identities and the power of art to break barriers.
Made with Oshan
A short film made on AIT's virtual production stage. In a neon, Orwellian city, a 'purity act' forbids humans and hybrids from being together. Two of them meet anyway, in a café where everyone is watching.
Concept, co-director and producer
A music video about the deep connection between sensuality, self-expression and freedom through pole dancing. Dancers move with grace, strength and fluidity, breaking free from society's constraints and celebrating their authentic selves. Filmed at Sydney Pole.
Co-director, producer, editor and composer
An experiment in music production for pole. Instead of choreographing to an existing song, the track was built in Logic Pro around the moves: a slow, dark trip-hop piece in the spirit of Massive Attack, FKA twigs and Sevdaliza, with tension that builds, a stripped-back floorwork section, a moment of silence and a drop that lands on a big trick. The video recuts two dancers from the Allure Within shoot to match.
Concept, producer and screenwriter
Jonas, a non-binary person, reflects on a life shaped by societal pressure, missed opportunities and unspoken truths. Through flashbacks from childhood to adulthood, Jonas revisits gender expression, sexual awakening and the conflict between expectation and self-acceptance. The film explores the pain of suppressing who you are, and the moment of finally embracing a non-binary self.
Solo project
A collage animation inspired by Anitta's song Versions of Me. It's an ode to the many versions of myself I've met since moving to Australia, built from cut-out photographs and deep zooms in After Effects.
A student study built around Anitta's song and archive photographs, so the full version isn't published online.
Script and drawings
In this dynamic short animation, Hal, a stripper and passionate pole dancer, faces off against Patriarchy, a shadowy figure of oppression. Using the power of pole dancing, Hal turns the duel into a triumphant fight for freedom, defeats Patriarchy and makes the pole a symbol of resistance and empowerment.
Concept, screenwriter and director
Follow Susan, a busy businesswoman, through her unexpected transformation with Garden Elixir cold-pressed juice. From a gloomy day at the office to a vibrant, energised life, one sip of the magical juice changes everything.
Garden Elixir is a fictional product made for a film assessment. Please don't go looking for it at your local supermarket.
A visually intense After Effects piece exploring identity and surveillance. Layered visuals, glitch effects and powerful symbolism build an eerie atmosphere that unfolds across urban landscapes and enigmatic spaces.
Voice-over, sound effects and editing
This sound design project reimagines the World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King cinematic trailer, blending its dark fantasy atmosphere with elements of Disney's Frozen. Epic music, detailed sound effects and layered audio add depth and emotion to key moments, from the clank of armour to the roar of dragons.
Script and animation
A hand-drawn animated short about trauma and memory, drawn in white line on black with red as the only colour. Written and animated for AIT's Digital Storytelling unit. The full short is now in production, and the pilot scene shows where it's heading.
Content note: includes depictions of violence.

Made with Aafq · Art of Cinematography, AIT
A ninety-second thriller shot inside a coffin we built in a living room from cardboard and wood-print paper, for AIT's Art of Cinematography unit. One actor, one lighter, one phone screen, and a camera that never leaves the box.

Modelling, illustration, print and screen design, made between films.
3D modelling · 2023
A pair of hands modelled from scratch in Maya and Mudbox, textured in Substance Painter with a veined marble and dried blood, rendered in Arnold in beauty, ambient occlusion and wireframe passes, and composited in Photoshop into a photograph taken in an aerial studio, so the hands reach up around a hanging performer.

Digital imaging
Two A3 posters from AIT's Digital Images unit. The first is a vector self-portrait drawn in Illustrator, built from flat shapes and a limited palette. The second is a Photoshop composite for the word non-binary: a pole dancer inside a neon ring of pronouns, over a splatter of every colour at once.
