Journalist, producer and filmmaker based in London. I began my career as a radio presenter in Melbourne before moving to London, where I created The Cinema Show — a weekly programme produced by Monocle and MUBI. I now run a small communications practice working with private clients, and am in pre-production on a feature documentary.
