All about me

I am a Gooreng Gooreng and Kabi Kabi journalist and producer based in Brisbane. My research highlighted the problem Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders face with mainstream media’s interaction with Mob. My tenet is to give something back to Mob and harness the future of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sovereignty at all levels with data, stories and knowledge.

I have extensive practical experience both interviewing people and producing documentary film content. In particular, He has extensive experience interviewing and working with Indigenous participants. I’ve filmed numerous times in Aboriginal communities throughout Australia and has interviewed community members, Elders and Traditional Owners. During the pre-production, production and post-production processes, I follows Indigenous Cultural Intellectual Protocols (ICIP) and ethical standards and protocols outlined by the AIATSIS Code of Ethics for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Research for all of his productions.

Academically, I Have completed a Bachelors Degree in Journalism and Screen Production and a Graduate Certificate in Writing, Editing, Publishing at The University of Queensland.

I have completed my PhD at QUT. This is by Creative Practice and will be delivered as a documentary titled: “Exhausted Voices” Past Present Future” - Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property (ICIP): Improving the legal management of media content about/with Indigenous Australians.

Producer

ABC television and radio, Fox Sports, National Indigenous Television and SBS. I was instrumental in securing the radio broadcast for NIRS of the Indigenous NRL All Stars matches. I have been involved in many LIVE Sporting events, Olympics - Goodwill Games - Commonwealth Games - ASIAN GAMES.

Director

Directing is an area where i have attention to detail shines. This was evident in NITV’s Ella 7’s Rugby Union telecast from Coffs Harbour. With a tight budget my team produced 11 hours of Rugby content and used the commentary team as a post production asset which saved on flights and accommodation. i have directed the state and National Indigenous Golf Championships.

Editor

Using the latest hardware and software (Final Cut Pro X) i edit small one off community videos through to many hours of footage delivering hours of content to a national broadcaster and corporates. As an editor, following shot list and archiving and ex-porting final assets has been a key factor in Indigistream’s production. During his time at ABC Radio, i scripted and produced the Indigenous National radio show Speaking Out. This involved editing and interviewing high profile Indigenous and non-indigenous guests on a weekly basis talking about current Indigenous Affairs.
