Australian - Director

I'm just trying to approach what I make with as much respect and research as I can, and just make it with a good heart.

The way I work is I like to immerse myself in the world of the film and in the character's lives, and then from that, I get a lot of ideas of how the film could be made, how it could be told.

Filmmaking is not a job but a social responsibility for me.
