Director Statement

"Rusty!" is an aussie flick that feels all too real; the story was imagined while I roamed the streets of Melbourne looking for my lost dog (who we found safe and sound luckily!). I wanted to push my self as a Director and a DoP, and am immensely proud with the result; a beautiful little film that the audience will struggle to forget! I want the viewers to feel deceived, manipulated, shocked, astounded, and I think the final result does just that, all in all showcasing the power of film as a means of storytelling and entertainment.
