"Practice Time"
A teenage boy saves up his money to buy a saxaphone from a pawn shop. But when he finally gets it home his entire family complains it is too noisy and for him too practice somewhere else. Where can he possibly go to practice that won't disturb anyone?

Featured in the 2005 Quickflix Film Festival and appeared on TVC and Aurorra Community TV.

"Sugar"
A black comedy about a couple who shoot their drug dealer and spend the rest of the night trying to work out what to do with his body,

Made as part of the Newcastle Shootout competition 2004, where you have to shoot the whole thing in 24 hours, in camera - no editing. It didn't make the finals, but I have refined it since and am submitting it to other festivals.

Even before we got around to filming this short version however I had expanded the script into a feature-length screenplay.

"The Bobsy Boys"
The story of a gay couple who have together brought up the son of one of them. And one of them is now dying of cancer. You can see some production stills of the film here.

The film was a finalist in the Melbourne Queer FIlm Festival 2004; a finalist in the Newcastle Film Festival 2004 (where Mark Jensen - that's him on the left - won Best Actor for his performance); and won runner-up Best Film at the 2004 QuickFlicks Festival. It has also been featured in the Frame By Frame AIDS charity festival, and selected for NAFA ShowFest.

"Sick Puppies, Unearthed"
A 30-minute documentary which covers the events of one insane week when Australian Rock band Sick Puppies won the Triple-J Sydney Unearthed competition.

"Storyteller"
A 15 minute dramatic short, it is a psychological thriller telling the tale of a writer whose character comes to life and tries to take over. There is some kind of rule that short filmmakers have to do at least one self-referencing story - this is mine. But the twist at the end and the special effects make it rather different. This has appeared as part of the Eye Scream Halloween Festival and Trasharama A-Go-Go (for lovers of cheesy, badly-made genre films). It has also been adapted into a feature-length screenplay.
