A BIT ABOUT MY FILMS

all my films are self-funded so their budgets are incredibly small (most of it goes towards paying the cast and crew tbh). anyway, they’re all set in WOODRIDGE, QLD because that’s where i grew up and while i’m in this experimental and super independent chapter of my filmmaking career i feel extremely drawn and passionate to telling stories set in that world.

i also release these films for free, so they’re available to everyone without ads or requiring a subscription to any service. this way audiences have access to some woodridge cinema, the people involved all get paid, and i get joy from being part of that.

anyway, these films are low budget, they’re set in woodridge, and they’re each made by really wonderful people.

here is my showreel. why do i have a showreel when i fund my own shit anyway? bro, i have no idea.

HOOD SAFARI (85 minutes)

in early 2023 i shot HOOD SAFARI. it’s a feature film that was shot on miniDV tape, hi8 tape, film, 4k, etc etc.

it’s about a boy going missing in woodridge, and how it impacts not only his family but the community as well.

here is the trailer:

BOYS WILL BE (65 minutes)

in late 2020 i shot a drama and comedy version of the same film. it’s hard to explain, but essentially i shot a comedy version of a dramatic film, at the same time i was shooting the dramatic film - with the same cast and crew.

here is the full film.

EXT. SKATEPARK (41 minutes, 14 seconds)

below is the trailer and the full film EXT. SKATEPARK.

the film goes for 41 minutes and 41 seconds (woodridge postcode is 4114). it features music written by motzart, beethoven, bach and more. the entire film is in a perfect 1:1 ratio. it was shot in 2.5 days. i wrote, shot and edited this film while i was homeless. like, from the moment i started writing it, until the day it premiered on amazon prime, i was homeless.

i took it off amazon prime in 2021. it is now available only here.

GUTTER RUNTS

below is a film i made in 2016. just wanted to make something different. i shot it over a few days. the original version screened to a sold out cinema. i told people i was showing a film and that i’d never show it ever again. i also refused to release a trailer so people had no idea what they had paid to see, but they did know that it’d be something no one would ever see again. that film went for like 60 minutes. anyway. here is the much shorter internet version. it is called Gutter Runts.
