The Session times for the performances has now been released so you can start planning your 4 days of Womad.

Check them out here

and Dont forget that a “1” Next to the act means that are playing 1 show only. Some acts play multiple times during the 4 days.

In case you missed it previously Rachid Taha has also been added to the Womadelaide Lineup playing a headline show on Sunday Night at 10:30pm. He has played Womad previously and last time I saw him ( 2004 ? ) it was one of the highlights of the festival.

The Short film that I wrote and directed at MAPs film school in 2013 is now online. It’s a story about a boys vivid imagination and love for the sea.

For the Technically minded it was shot on a Black Magic Cinema Camera primarily over 2 days with an additional half day to capture the stop motion animation parts.

Please share it if you like it.

First up, Apologies for the lack of updates to this page since mid year. It’s got a bit hectic in the last 6 months, but I will have time now to get on top of it.

I’ve spent the last 10 months studying at MAPs Film School in Adelaide and will soon have my Diploma in Screen and Media, but more importantly I have met and worked with lots of great people, both in the course itself and outside of the course in the Film and TV industry.

My Direct involvement with the Student Films this year topped out at 21 significant roles and then production stills and timelapses of other productions would add another 6

I’ve added links to any work that is currently available for viewing. The rest should hopefully be available to view really soon after the official debut screening of them early December 2013

You may have heard of the US band “The Dead kennedys” who broke up quite a few years ago. memorable songs such as “Holiday in Cambodia” and “California Uber Alles”.

Well their Lead singer Jello Biafra has been busy with a new band and has just finished touring in Australia. I caught up with Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine when they played at Fowlers Live. He still has plenty of energy

Plenty of Still photos taken from the event can be found HERE

Finally received my Radian Controller after a Kickstarter Project Mid 2012 which I funded. It was worth the wait and a few delays and I finally got to charge it up and have a play today. Here’s a first test of the device doing a 360 degree rotation at the local park. People walking there dogs must have though I was a nutcase ?

Organised via South Australian Photography facebook page I attended a group Photoshoot held at a warehouse South of Adelaide.

Some of my images were with natural light but most were with lit with 2 portable studio flashes.
