I bring outstanding award winning expertise to your film , coupled with my heart directed passion - celebrating the extraordinary from our everyday lives. It's so important to be able to re-live our most special moments, and share them with those we love. It fills the soul. It inspires, reminds, and allows us to reflect on what really matters in our lifetime - love and connection. Milestone Movies was born to honour our most precious moments captured and compiled in your personalised film.
What I bring to your film is over 15 years experience in the TV industry working as a director, writer, producer and editor. I've worked across documentaries, movie trailers, commercials as well as music and lifestyle television. I've worked for National Geographic Channel in Australia and London, created pitch reels that have won documentary grants with Discovery Channels and been able to travel the globe on various freelance adventures.
My work has gone on to win awards in Sydney and New York (Promax) and I produced the highest rating documentary on National Geographic Channel in history (Australia's Hardest Prison: Lockdown Oz).
I've directed well known Australian celebrities such as Bryan Brown, Rachel Ward, Magda Szubanski, Deborah Mailman, Alex Dimitriates, James Tobin and Adam Spencer plus I've had the pleasure of interviewing a plethora of fascinating individuals like Annie Griffiths Belt, (world renowned photographer), Jessie Martin (youngest person to sail around the world solo), Jesus Rivas (world famous herpetologist) and frontline tsunami survivors from Thailand in 2004.
All this experience has led me to my passion. I now use my talent and flair for feeling my way into your story and weaving it together in the most touching and poignant ways, simply put, in a way that touches your heart, deeply.
Clients are consistently blown away. They laugh, cry, smile and reflect. My films are a forever treasured keepsake to pass on for generations.
I am blessed with this window into my clients most cherished moments. When I sit down to work I get to immerse myself in the best of a person's life. It's a touching privilege and daily personal inspiration.
