Huge thank you to for sharing the news of the screening of my film made with .hatton about .art on Saturday 13th September at 6:30pm ! This is the first time the film will screen for an audience outside of Spain - some would even call this a PREMIERE! A mysterious and illuminating film created about the theme of “after the fire” 💜 Herzog’s own comments after watching one of the final cuts: “I like how balanced your film is, there is great depth…you got the film, don’t ever touch it, I mean the tiny things…but don’t touch it any further, it’s very, very good like that, it’s a real movie, and you know it and I don’t have to say that, you know it yourself…” Big thanks to for the opportunity to be mentored by Werner Herzog & Peter Zeitlinger. Hope to see you there if you’re in Sydney

I’m happy to announce that the showreel we filmed for our mate Ellen is screening at the this coming Saturday ! And our work is in the top 20 showreels of the competition! Swipe through to see some examples of how Ellen could best perform for you ! Big thanks to the team who made it possible. The festival asked actors to include an egg and talk about how much they love the editing technique of match cutting. Ellen nailed it.

As I prepare to leave Europe again here’s one last little lo-fi scrapbook for the time being as I reflect on a beautiful pocket of life shared with special people from all sides of the planet. 🌎 From shooting an awesome film with & and finding the “gifts” 🐝 to crewing on ’s project shot by the amazing with .not.adam (my boy) 🚗 to helping and Zac as a dramaturg…🍫And exploring all the facets of ourselves, finding truths within us that we can bring to characters…and shooting and making “kunst” with and hunting for windows- THE PERFECT WINDOW. 🪟 And then at the last moment attempting to film a movie through my own subconscious with .pianta.pubblico and a host of other wonderful people. 🍓Throw in a moment of Jim Jarmusch - Jarmusching it up the stage in the flesh with all the dinners, all the bevvies and all the conversations and well it cannot be summarized…but they are memories to last a lifetime. Hot girl eurosummer 2025 greatest hits- complete edition released.🧜‍♀️ Grazie! 🇮🇹

It’s been over a month- so many memories to look back on with these wonderful souls who I miss dearly. From seeing Jim Jarmusch talk about his career, and then seeing Terry Gilliam live in the flesh, to bumping into in the middle of the festival! Having excellent truffle pasta with and & pizza parties with .not.adam and ! And a coverage workshop with Mr Farhadi. So many more adventures here- too many to list - good thing I made these happy snaps that I’ll treasure. Remember to make your shots “dynamic” and don’t be afraid to “go wider”! And also remember to live your life and don’t only spend time with filmmakers - except when all 23 of them are such kind beautiful humans. Hope you guys like my first hot girl summer scrapbook 🧜‍♀️

🎬 Between June 24–July 7, I had the honour of joining 23 filmmakers from around the world in Bologna, Italy for a masterclass with Academy Award winning filmmaker and all round great guy Asghar Farhadi, part of Il Cinema Ritrovato. More on that later…

Over 2 intense weeks, I crewed on around 6 films and even directed a short film, Perdita, in just one day — inspired by Mr Farhadi’s advice to “make a film from your subconscious.” To my surprise, after watching it, Mr. Farhadi said it was “unique,” compared it to Parajanov and stated,
“It was great, it was great, in one hour doing this - even Scorsese cannot do it”

(Yes, I’m putting that on a t-shirt 😭)

That moment — or rather the moments afterwards while celebrating - caught in a Polaroid by my friend Iris reminded me why I do this. If you’re dreaming of making films, keep going. If you want to ask someone you admire some questions about how they do what they do. It’s possible.

Next up is the lovely - she writes “The erratic rhythm of life as an artist, jumping from project to project, times when you cannot take a breath and others feeling like the abyss of nothingness will extinguish your creativity entirely, has come as a massive wake up call having completed drama school, especially the realisation that this constant unrest is the restof my life. Learning to love the instability ofthe creative world is something I am sure willchallenge me for a long time yet. One thing I know for sure is that this ever changing beast leaves only ripe opportunities for creativity and growth” #

My favourite shots from my shoot in January 2025 of Riyan Jackson . He writes “I thought about someone I used to know whom didn’t appreciate my presence for me. How me leaving them behind has been for the better, & how me trying to pursue my dreams & creative endeavours has made my life better & also helped me grow into a stronger & mature person. How being in an area with nature is peaceful, calming in moments of anger & sadness. But also how I felt in this moment of peace was a sense of longing & craving for something in my heart that I’ve never truly had. But I imagined a bright & happy future for myself & just try to keep moving forward & hope for the best because the best you can do is try.“ Thanks Riyan. I love the images we captured together. I did something different on this shoot and I think it evoked your story beautifully. developed and scanned by

Next up is who writes “I’m really glad I got invited to be part of this shoot. It felt grounding. Standing under these 200-year-old trees, noticing their lines and scars, made me think about how they’ve lived and carried their own stories. It’s such a simple thing—just being under a few trees—but it felt so much bigger than that. I don’t even know why I cried, but I did. Maybe it was something about the stillness, the weight of time pressing against the moment, or the quiet reminder that even the oldest things still stand.

That feeling deepened when Josh and I talked about how the last time I’d stepped in front of a camera was about 10 years ago, back when I was modeling. Those memories flooded back—some good, others more complicated. I remembered the excitement and creativity of those moments, but also the times I felt like just a shell of myself, being used as a coat hanger, detached from the person I really was.
Stepping in front of the camera again, in this completely different context, felt grounding in a way I hadn’t experienced before. The theme of mental health gave space for something real to emerge—something I hadn’t always allowed back then. It reminded me of how far I’ve come, and how much more I can connect with myself now, in a way that feels true and steady, like those trees standing quietly through the years.” Thanks so much for being involved Jess!

Next up is .wynd ! She writes “As a kid in the playground, clinging onto something for dear life was fun, another time it was the only choice. For some reason now they feel very connected - hanging by a thread and innocent play.

Being this high up in the tree is kind of scary because falling will hurt, especially if you’re pretty much suspended (in time and nerves) by keeping the pressure at just the right amount. Too much and you tire out, not enough and you drop immediately.
But by leaning on your supports, at least you won’t fall.” Thanks for being involved Jessii!

Some more of my photography series on ‘coping’ next up featuring the lovely from January 2025. Britt writes “I was thinking of the woman who had stopped to help me when I had a bad accident. I can’t remember her face completely but I know she had blonde hair and had a flower claw clip in her hair. She was so kind to me in a moment where I felt desperate and scared. I was a total mess and she got me through it with patience, gentleness and kind words. I never found out her name or was able to thank her properly. I don’t even think I would recognise her if I passed her again. But she stayed with me that morning when I had no one else. I’m still learning to cope with the mental trauma that comes after a car accident.

I also thought of my two best friends who have passed in car accidents. I found two feathers, not far away from each other, and instantly I thought of them. I love cockatoos, and they both came from cockatoos. When I think of my guardian angels, I know they’re the ones looking out for me and stay by my side day to day. So to find feathers was such an instant representation of them for me. I found a wide leaf that made me think of the lady who helped me. She was wearing a similar shade of green and the leaf was wide and unbroken, which I found a type of security and comfort in that, on the day of the accident as well as in the leaf today.”
