Whistle – Feature Documentary
An eccentric group of international whistlers descend on Hollywood to compete in the Masters of Musical Whistling, the world’s greatest whistling competition. Egos clash, notes soar, and tears flow, but only one can be crowned the best whistler of the whole entire planet. World premiere at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival.
Girls Can’t Surf – Feature Documentary
I had the idea for this film bobbing around in the surf at my local beach. Rotten Tomatoes describes it as 'a wild ride of rebellion, smashing the patriarchy and cut-throat adventure'. Girls Can't Surf was the highest-grossing feature doc in Australia in 2021 and played the Tribeca International Film Festival and Sydney International Film Festival, with subsequent international release. I've recently made a resolution to do more thinking in the surf.
BUOY
A short coming of age drama I wrote myself and co-directed with my old mate Justin McMillan. Produced by Justin and Andrew MacClean, and shot on the south coast of NSW in Australia, it's a missive on how the ocean can giveth and taketh away. Selected for the 2017 Melbourne International Film Festival Short Film program and Montreal World Competition Short Film section.
THE HAMMERSTONE
A short documentary I filmed in Saskatchewan, Canada, about memory, artefacts, and stories that have travelled through time on the land. The Hammerstone lives its digital life on the wonderful NOWNESS culture platform.
