Film
I am a Producer and Art Director for narrative films. I produced the award-winning feature film, Out of Breath (2022), and have just finished principal photography on a second feature, ecological horror - Ogress (2024).
Ogress
(In post-production)
With a mix of suspense, horror, and cultural commentary, Ogress is a haunting and thought-provoking film that explores the consequences of unchecked greed and the power of the natural world to seek justice.
Written and filmed in New Zealand in 2023, Ogress is currently in post-production and is expected to premiere in 2024.
Synopsis
Renowned photographer Emma returns to Devonport, Aotearoa, after the vicious murder of her uncle Gregory. The household maid, Paula, confides her theory that a bird monster “Broken Beak” killed him. As more family winds up dead, Emma begins to see haunting visions of the monster Broken Beak, who beckons her to fulfill a destiny hitherto unknown to herself.
Out Of Breath
(2022)
Out of Breath is a New York City drama set at the height of the George Floyd protests against the surreal backdrop of the early pandemic. In a loose modern interpretation of Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless, the story confronts the ambiguous relationship between individual responsibility and structural oppression today.
Out of Breath premiered at the Sarasota Film Festival in 2022 where it won the Narrative Film Jury Award. The film went on to play a successful festival tour taking home top awards from the Boston International Film Festival, Manhattan Film Festival, Paris Cinema, and the Bushwick Film Festival.
Synopsis
