Jake Of All Trades
Director, DOP, and creative problem solver across production, post, and everything in between… plus a heap of gear.
Overview
I have been working as a Director and DOP for over 10 years, diving into everything from comedy and drama to sports and documentaries. With a background in post-production and VFX, and some time spent in-house at ad agencies, I have got a solid handle on the entire process, along with what creatives and clients need.
Whether I am directing and shooting, or jumping on board to shoot for other directors, I am all about finding solutions, staying flexible, and making sure we get the best results while keeping everyone happy along the way.
Director
I primarily work as a Director, and it is common for me to handle both directing and DOP duties. I take pride in being solution-focused and getting the best results with the resources available.

DOP
I often work solely as a DOP, collaborating with directors on their projects.
While I believe having an understanding of directing helps with collaboration and the creative process, I have a dedicated website for my DOP work that does not reference my directing experience.

Lighting & Grip Van
Piccolo GLX
A small lighting and grip van designed to be the ultimate Swiss army knife, built to handle the needs of smaller shoots.
I use it regularly on smaller projects, and it is also available for other productions with trusted gaffers and grips.

Post Production
I collaborate with plenty of post-production pros, but I have a background in it and still get hands-on now and then.
From crafting the first directors cut, seeing post-production through to the end, to adding some VFX, motion graphics, or colour grading, I enjoy staying connected to the editing process when I can.
