Hi, I am a professional Director of Photography, Producer, Writer and Digital Video Editor with many years' experience across documentaries, short films, music videos, TV commercials, feature films and online videos. I started in the industry as a photographer, camera assistant and assistant editor and worked my way up to a fully trained Director of Photography and Editor. I also run the NZ Film & TV School in Wellington (Whitireia) now based in Petone, and I have spent over four years as a Film Tutor at Waikato Polytechnic, tutoring a degree course and setting up a Digital Video Editing and Motion Graphics Lab. I wrote 3 modules for the media arts degree during its transition to a 3-year Bachelor of Media Arts, and I continue to train the next generation of filmmakers, while staying open to freelance work and providing an in-school production service to give students real on-set experience.
