An international award winning filmmaker relaxing after years of full on productions and a stint as a Professorial Fellow at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, Australia.
I’ve been teaching photography and digital storytelling with men in a maximum security prison and women who have recently been released from prison at Sacred Heard Mission. Now mainly living in Timor-Leste where I have been working with young artists at Arte Moris in Dili and unemployed youth at Centro Juventude Covalima in Suai. This work is funded by humanitarian and aid organisations to promote skills and social engagement amongst communities of the disadvantaged.
