A little over two years ago I pitched an idea I’d developed with @glenroy7 and @derek_pedley to @hamishlewis at @warnerbrostvau. Today thanks to @binge, @lana.greenhalgh, @screenwest_ and the hard work of so many others we have a trailer for a 6 X 1 series. Was particularly special to work with @ashleigh_cummings again on her first project down under since Hounds of Love, and @sarahlwalker after our time on season 2 of The Twelve.

HUGE thanks to the amazing cast and crew and fellow director @bonniemoir for their mammoth effort on this!

OFFICIAL SELECTION — REVELATION PERTH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2026

I’m incredibly excited to announce that my feature documentary, Prompt: Make a Documentary, has been officially selected for the 2026 Revelation Perth International Film Festival.

This film explores how artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping filmmaking, education, and creative identity: asking whether these emerging tools will democratise storytelling or slowly erode the human foundations of cinema.

Through interviews with filmmakers, educators, researchers, and industry practitioners, the documentary examines authorship, ethics, labour, creativity, and what remains distinctly human in the act of storytelling.

To have this project recognised by Revelation is a huge honour, especially as a Perth filmmaker telling a story deeply connected to Australia’s evolving screen culture.

Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, insight, and support throughout this journey.

📍 Screening at Luna Palace Cinemas
🎬 Revelation Perth International Film Festival 2026
