It was reality television the UK and USA that taught me everything I know to not do in documentary!

I set out to make a film that was unflinchingly honest in 'Where There is Life' yet hopeful in that the husband and unexpected hero steps up when many of us in the same position would really step sideways. The film negotiates tactfully the themes of disability, identity, love and dignity in death. The story of this family, filmed over four years, under pressure, leads the viewer to consider "how do we best live, when in the midst of dying?".

'Where There is Life' was selected for Doc Without Borders, Wayward Festival, New Zealand International Film Festival, International Blow-up Festival and I was a finalist for the London Independent Film Festival, 2017.

My second feature, 'Ms. Information' will be released in New Zealand, nationwide, in 2023.
