Experiencing Interruptions?

Expedition Australia: 17,000 kilometers.

This is the story of how I crossed Australia from the West to the East in my car. It's my best attempt to capture the beauty that this country has to offer, and to tell the story of friends I met along the way and challenges that I encountered.

Director Statement

I am so excited to be submitting my film "Expedition Australia: 17,000 kilometers." to the Save the Waves Film Festival 2025. Having only just started out on my underwater filmmaking and storytelling journey, getting the opportunity to share my work is one of the most exciting parts of this creative journey. This film was about testing my limits and proving to myself, and others, that limits are perceptions. I hope you enjoy following along on my adventure, that it makes you think about your own adventures and maybe get a laugh from you here or there.
