An Australian filmmaker currently based in Los Angeles, developing a feature series beginning with — Before Roswell: Origins.
Though the film unfolds against the backdrop of one of the 1947 New Mexico UFO incidents, at its heart it’s an achingly human, tragic love story — exploring how fragile, urgent, and transformative love can be, shadowed by forces far beyond its control. This is a film project unlike any ever made in the genre of extraterrestrial first contact.

Two screenplays in the series completed. I’m currently seeking thoughtful representation to help shape the next stages of this project — and future work in the same cinematic, emotionally powerful genre.
