ABOUT ME

The lack of Australian voices and stories in film severely impacted how I viewed myself and others. It influenced the interactions I had with the world around me, and as a Maltese/Serbian-Macedonian Australian and eventually confused queer kid I struggled to retain a sense of identity and belonging in a landscape that was essentially telling me that my voice did not matter -- that our stories, as diverse Australians, were lesser than.  
 
Entertainment and stories have the capacity to influence and inspire us, to persuade and challenge our beliefs, and teach us to better understand ourselves as individuals and collective beings. As a producer I get to be involved in that change, actively challenging and confronting audiences as well as the industry. As I have done with the grassroots #LoveOzYA campaign in the local book industry -- challenging the perception teens and young adults have towards Australian stories and convincing them to read and talk more about Australian experiences -- I have the desire to do the same for the screen industry, by protecting and prolonging our Australian screen identity both in front of and behind the camera. 

 

As a producer I am interested in working on projects in all stages of development and from all mediums, including VR, theatrical and exhibition spaces. I love thought-provoking stories that challenge audiences consisting of complex characters and confronting themes.

 

Please request a CV if you are interested in collaborating on any project or employing me on your production.

 

I am a graduate of Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia, with a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology and Psychophysiology) and a Bachelor of Film and Television (Animation). I began studying a Master of Producing at the Victorian College of the Arts-The University of Melbourne in 2018 before gaining employment in the industry at Animal Logic on 'Peter Rabbit 2'.

​

Five years later, I finished up on Adam Elliot's second stop motion animated feature film in April 2024 as Production Manager and VFX Supervisor, which has gone on to win the Annecy International Animation Festival 2024 and the first ever animated feature to win Best Film at the BFI London Film Festival 2024. I am currently producing and developing a variety of projects (animation, genre projects and games) with Cinaxiom Studios.
