After following winter for 10 years as a professional snowboarder I was forced to pivot.
I had a severe concussion and was told I probably shouldn’t continue on that path anymore… So I explored the realm of film making through friends that had filmed me in the past. They showed me the ropes, I became an apprentice and worked my way into the industry.
Since then I have had various roles in this varied industry, but one of the common skill sets that regularly takes me to the higher end of film production has also planted me back on a snowboard which I love and will never get over.
I was Line Director for the on-snow imagery in this NBC Olympic Super Bowl TVC
I Directed and Produced ‘Hidden Mountain’ for Redbull NZ and Redbull media house. It didn’t quiet follow the script, but due to injuries it was cut short.. such is the life of professional athletes.
I Directed and DP’d this brand film under AJ Films for Descente Global
I shot some the New Zealand portion of this action piece and edited the film for Roland Morley Brown and The North Face.
I directed and DP’d many years of ‘Diaries Downunder’. The series and the team will always hold a special place in my heart. This is also where I started filming.
Night Fury was my first short film for Red Bull. It is by far the hardest thing I have ever tried to pull off. One month of shooting in Japan, all at night, with a fictional storyline… that saved us in the end because everyone got injured.
