We are so excited and humbled to announce that the debut of our first Feature Film “The Mustangs” will be premiering at Palace Cinemas Feb 28 for the WA Made Film Festival!

“In 2019, the Mandurah Mustangs All Abilities AFL team was born. What began as a dream of inclusion has grown into a powerful movement, proving that football is for everyone. This film celebrates their journey, their triumphs on and off the field, and their 2025 season - showing the world that ability comes in many forms, but passion unites us all”

The themes and topics in this film are those I’m very passionate about and close to, I worked on this for the majority of 2025 and the outcome is a project that I’m incredibly proud of.

This represents the continuation of my film company Just An Idea Productions and a pivot into a new branch of creative expression for mine and my wife’s company Cellar Door Studios.

Tickets are linked in my bio

My short film “Stranger” is now on YouTube for anyone who is interested! (Link in my description)
This film was the end of a years worth of passion, blood, sweat and tears from all its creatives and talent. Full of great performances, craftsmanship and heart; it is the end result from a beautiful multi award winning script and it would mean a lot if you could spare some time to check it out! (Watch in the dark and on the biggest screen you have please!)

I just wrapped production on my segment of our feature

Some BTS will come out slowly but not too much as to spoil what we have in store for you. This is my dream and I finally got to live it; I am absolutely stoked at how lucky I am to have all these talented people behind me believing in our project and helping it come to life.

Full appreciation post on fb, but some people to highlight who without this wouldn’t exist
