beautiful smile
An aspiring model sees her upcoming photo shoot as a chance at her big break, but must face a predatory photographer intent on shattering boundaries she didn’t know she had.
A film that captures how intangible some violations are. A feeling so many of us know, but struggle to put into words. Uncomfortably, and somehow, reassuringly real — at once upsetting and validating.
Based on the lead actor’s own, very real experience.
Beautiful Smile premiered at the Austin Film Festival in 2024 and went on to screen at Torino Film Festival ('24), Flickerfest ('25) and St Kilda Film Festival ('25).

Small Hands
“nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands.”
twenty forty three
A dystopian love story set in a world where a virus deems physical contact impossible.
Thirty years after a devastating disease has consumed humankind, Jack and the last if humanity live under the ultimate truce: to never touch again. Working as a disposal officer, Jack sees the last terror of the plague - in those who defect, who succumb to touch, disease and a despicable death - all from behind the safety of a pane of glass. But as the memories of his mother's last loving touch begin to unravel him, Jack sinks deeper into a void between the sterile and the depraved, where desire is forbidden, fear is mandatory and everything depends on which side of the glass you stand behind.
