Game Enough?
After the death of his beloved uncle, a young man discovers the flavours of his auntie's Indigenous culture lost in the Australian culinary palette.
A first-time filmmaker, Zach explores the diverse life of his late uncle Greg and his unique catering business ‘Game Enough?’. In order to learn the ways of Indigenous Australian cooking, Zach looks to his Dunghutti aunty, Carol. As he overcomes grief with a strive to continue Greg's legacy, he discovers it was never just about food.

Zach grew up in Cairns and now studies filmmaking at Griffith Film School in Brisbane/Meanjin. He practiced photography for over four years, which has turned into freelance work. Along with this, he has grown a love for telling heartfelt stories through films of both fiction and reality.
Growing up, I swept the idea of native Australian cooking under the rug. Then I realised, we embrace Indigenous food from almost every culture on the planet, except our own. So I knew this story had to be told. Uncle Greg had an incredible love for family and cooking that I want to share with the rest of the world.
