The Veiled

Fashion photographer CASSANDRA ANDREADIS documents the fabulous, the glamorous and the most refined of Sydney’s too, too perfect faces. During a holiday back to her homeland of Greece, her lens witnesses an injustice that unravels a past trauma she had believed was shuttered safely away. When Cassandra locks eyes with a lost teenage girl far from home, her illusions of safety shatter and an underground world of human trafficking collides gruesomely with her own.

He has written and directed tens of hours of animation, television, documentary and educational programming and created well-reviewed theatre pieces both in Sydney and in London.

Glenn has contributed to diverse media journals such as Broadcast (UK), Cinema Papers and Inside Film, and as a technologist helped design specialist workflows for
post production at both BBC, BBC Natural History Unit and Australia’s ABC. He has written and taught both theoretical and practical filmmaking courses at the prestigious Australian Film Television and Radio School, and created its most popular Open Program, the Real Filmmaking Boot Camp. Over the past three years, he has been working as Creative Director for the groundbreaking transmedia company Transmedia Entertainment and is presently pioneering drop-in Virtual
