Writing
I love comedy, and hold stand up comedian in the highest regard in terms of entrainment. It is brilliant how one person can entertain a room with thousands of people with nothing but a microphone and their words.
It was this love of stand up comedy that lead me into studying film.
On a Sunday night I was sitting on the couch of past girlfriend after rewatching Simon Amstel’s “Do Nothing’ stand up special.
When I thought, I’d love to do that,
but I could never get on stage and perform.
So, instead I applied to Deakin Universities Bachelor of Arts – Film and Television. I was unaware that the application was very late and I before I could reconsider I was admitted and on Wednesday I was attending my first class.
Throughout the degree I excelled at a few things mainly producing and directing but I always aspired to be a writer and continued to work on my short films over and over anbd in the final year of the degree my short film was selected as one of the best in the year level and selected to be made.
This sparked a continual motivation to always write and create as part of my daily life.
To keep-track and showcase these projects I now write all my projects openly on this website below.
Personal Stories
Below are a series of stories, anecdotes, and moments from my life. These include reflections on memories where I’ve learned important lessons, humorous moments, travel blogs, and musings from friends, family, and observations I’ve made.
Travel Notes – 2023 Switzerland, France, Italy and Germany – Work in Progress
This blog covers my experiences, adventure and thoughts while travelling with my partner Courtney on a memorable journey through the picturesque landscapes of France, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy.
We primarily travelled around in a camper van, allowing us to explore less popular destinations while making pit stops at charming caravan parks along the way.
Creative Writting
Screenplays for long and short form films. This consists of both screenplays that I have sold, already produced and directed or works in progress.
BBQ At HighNoon
BBQ at HighNoon is a short screenplay, co-authored with Sondre Fristad, was crafted with the aim of discovering humor in the fusion of two distinct genres. To be specific, it introduces a Western character into a straightforward drama, creating an intriguing blend that evokes laughter and amusement.
Being Robbed
“Being Robbed” is a short film I crafted, wrote, and directed in 2025. It’s a fusion of straight comedy and surrealism that challenges the usual formula. I particularly enjoyed flipping the narrative convention, where one character is immersed in a surreal world, by placing a straightforward character into a world filled with surreal counterparts.
The Courtroom – Work in progress
“The Courtroom” is an ongoing screenplay I’m currently working on. It serves as a creative endeavour aimed at constructing a rich tapestry of captivating characters. In this project, each individual, regardless of their centrality to the plot, is imbued with a unique background and their own intriguing story.
Undercover Stockholm – Work in progress
“Undercover Stockholm” is a comedy that delves into an undercover cop’s emotional turmoil as he confronts the challenge of bringing down the gang he’s infiltrated over the past two years. Throughout this time, he has become an integral part of the gang’s family.
The Videographer
“The Videographer” is a film that delves into every videographer’s worst nightmare – forgetting to press record on a wedding video. Now, Sam must take on the roles of writer, producer, casting director, and director to recreate the most authentic reenactment of a bridezilla’s special day.
Death do us part – work in progress
Set in an old country town, ‘Death Do Us Part’ unveils the inner workings of the second-best funeral parlor in town. I penned this story during the COVID-19 pandemic when, due to a lack of business, I spent a year live-streaming funerals. In that time, I witnessed the beautiful, poignant, and sometimes humorous moments that arise during the celebration of life and bidding farewell to our loved ones.
