A remarkable achievement. I was lucky enough to write all the cutscenes, and proofread most of the English text too. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/4fd983f8e4b078dc024cfa32/1683263838395-A00HA3YR5F0GF9XIRC5I/image-asset.jpeg Filmography - Good Grief (2021–2022) Co-creator and co-writer of this comedy series for TVNZ+.

As always, it was conceived, written, shot, edited, post-produced, and delivered in two days flat. I co-directed, composed the music, and reluctantly starred. It was also raining constantly.

I wrote it and got dragged into acting in it too. Plus, I got to really slam a knife into an apple which is very fun.

Finalist - Christchurch Audience Favourite - Christchurch Heats Nominated for Best Performer, Best Script, and Best Female Filmmaker https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/4fd983f8e4b078dc024cfa32/1516001886321-XMYXDMEK4VHVVXD3Y6E1/image-asset.jpeg Filmography - Adam vs Eve: The Movie On The Adam & Eve Show we did a weekly segment where our hosts Adam and Eve would compete against each other in various activities, like paintball, making sausages, sculpture, and more. Adam lost both seasons. After two years, at the end of the show, we decided to do a movie to wrap it up properly (fully scripted, unlike the real thing). Full credit to Tyler King for his amazing co-writing, direction and editing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/4fd983f8e4b078dc024cfa32/1516000950209-7W8W46P2NCONGQV4WVCE/image-asset.jpeg Filmography - Parody: Moana ft. Donald Trump - You're Welcome On The Adam & Eve Show we did musical parodies every few weeks. I liked the challenge of rhythmically correct new lyrics to existing songs and putting our own spin on it. Some of them, like this timely blend of Moana and Trump, did pretty well. Turn on the captions if you need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/4fd983f8e4b078dc024cfa32/1683262683317-LP8TFSDYDUW4KIME5K5W/image-asset.jpeg Filmography - Parody: The Chainsmokers – Carrots (2017) Another parody from The Adam & Eve Show. Not the most views we ever got, but an in-office favourite. A shot for shot remake of this lyric video to Paris, but with dumb vegetable jokes rather than attempting to redefine what a city name means. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/4fd983f8e4b078dc024cfa32/1516000057467-72V4ZGI76CXPEC1NS5DT/image-asset.jpeg Filmography - Falling For You A romantic action short film conceived, written, shot, edited and delivered in two days for the HP 48 Hour Film Festival 2017.

These road trips saw us travel from the very top of the North Island of New Zealand down to the bottom, with many great stops at places along the way like this. My role was as producer, story booker, and even editor. (Though not this piece.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/4fd983f8e4b078dc024cfa32/1516002160009-SCTVE3APN459CG4FS4C1/Screen+Shot+2018-01-15+at+8.41.59+pm.png Filmography - Falling For You A romantic action short film conceived, written, shot, edited and delivered in two days for the HP 48 Hour Film Festival 2017.
