Filmmaker & Content Strategist · Sydney, Australia
Stories that move people
to act.
Forty years of documentary, broadcast television, and campaign content — from fundraising films to national television to B2B brand stories. For purpose-led organisations, government, and companies with something real to say.
See the workA filmmaker who started in fundraising.
My career began not in advertising, but in advocacy — producing weekly documentary stories for Wesley Mission, one of Australia's largest welfare organisations, where video was a direct instrument of community fundraising and social change.
Over 16 years I produced more than 500 stories across 250+ caring centres — homeless shelters, aged care homes, youth refuges — and delivered annual donor fundraising films that helped move millions of dollars into the communities that needed it.
Since then I've spent two decades mastering the full production pipeline in commercial and agency environments — building a business, producing national television, delivering tight-turnaround campaigns, and embedding as a trusted production partner for agencies across Australia.
The through-line in all of it: I help organisations tell the stories that matter, clearly and compellingly, without fuss.
End-to-end production.
No hand-holding required.
Fundraising films, cause-driven social content, donor communications, and campaign videos for NFPs, social enterprises, and purpose-led organisations. I understand what it takes to move an audience from passive to active.
Interview-driven case studies, brand documentaries, event captures, and issue-based films. From scripting and directing through to final edit — I can operate as a solo crew or lead a larger team depending on your scale.
Not just a camera operator. I'll help you think through what video can achieve at each stage of your audience journey, develop briefs, and build content strategies that connect production decisions to your organisational goals. Increasingly this includes AI-assisted production workflows and content automation — I stay ahead of where the tools are going so you don't have to.
Selected work.
A cross-section of work from across four decades — NFP advocacy, B2B brand stories, and event productions. Each piece is a different brief, a different audience, the same commitment to craft.
What it's like to work with me.
Skilled, experienced, multi-tasker — can think on his feet, trustworthy, hard-working and always reliable. You can't ask for much more, which is why we continued to give most of our production work to him over a decade.
Brown Cow have often taken our initial concept and made significant improvements which resulted in a greatly improved outcome from the one we imagined. This is one reason we continue to use their services.
Friendly, great understanding of the creative space, combined with great technical knowledge only learnt through lots of experience. We have never missed a timeline or deadline with Brown Cow.
You don't have to be hand-held the whole way. You take the initiative and run with a project very well. You present well to our clients. You're a good person to work with.
Let's find the story you should be telling.
