Characters
My New Colour (Short Film)
This short film carries a powerful message about the pain of a broken marriage and the struggles of a child caught in between. Though the film was never released, it remains a deeply personal exploration of family, separation, and the lasting impact on those most vulnerable.
INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATIONS
Creative partnerships and developments across Australia, India, China, Africa, Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States through film, publishing, music and cultural storytelling initiatives.
Philosophy
For me, acting is the pursuit of truth through character ā understanding human behaviour, emotion, conflict, circumstances and connection at their deepest level. Iām drawn to emotionally grounded stories, recently comedy and transformative roles that explore identity, vulnerability, resilience, and the complexities of the human experience.
Across film and storytelling, my focus is on authentic performances that connect audiences emotionally while bringing honesty, depth, and humanity to the screen.
