APRIL/MAY CATCH UP

Here’s a quick round of what’s been happening on my end!

A new TVC that’s just been released promoting the latest State of Origin series. Lots of fun filming up in QLD - especially with fellow cast Adorah, Alex and Kieran. Big thanks to YOUI, Anousha Zarkesh Casting and my reps at Howell Elite.

I’ve also been working on more music lately. Filming was recently completed for an MV for the song Hide & Seek with Clara Helms, for the My Inner Child OST. I’ve also teamed up again with laXed for a song Time which will be out in June, as well as writing at the moment with Space Cop 2. I’ve also written a few more tunes for my own album, 2 of which will feature some good mates of mine - I’m looking forward to getting all these tunes completed and out into the world!

Lastly, I worked together again with the wonderful Julia Firak on another photoshoot getting some new headshots and portraits done - I really dig how they came out!

June Catch Up: Kennards Hire - meet Lil Ken; Filming complete for short film ‘Grape’; ‘Residence’ now in Post Production, plus shooting currently underway for new Feature Film in Newcastle.

t has been a long while since I’ve last posted here, so here’s a catch up of the things that have happened thus far!

There are new Kennards Hire spots released recently which introduces the character of Lil’ Ken. I was fortunate enough to have a puppet made in my likeness to use and operate for these spots, so it’s definitely one of the highlights of my career thus far! A big thanks to Kennards Hire (shoutout to Reshma and the team) Enigma, Toybox Films and Rhiannon Paige Artistry for a smooth 2 days of shooting!

I recently completed filming on the Gold Coast for the short Grape, written and directed by the talented Aurora Iler. Aurora is a young creative who has already achieved many things at such a young age. She was one of the winners in the 2022 World Monologue Games and a finalist in the 7 NEWS Young Achiever of the Year Award for her work in her previous work Melonhead, which stars Nick Hardcastle. Grape highlights the impact of teenage vaping and has The Queensland Family and Child commission behind it as a distributor, so keep an eye out for it down the line. Here are a few snaps on set below:

A big thanks to Aurora and her Family for facilitating a wonderful experience on set, and the wonderful Bronte Larson, Lucas Bell and Liliya Ho for playing the rest of my family.

Another big thanks to the S Club (Sarah [of Sarah Disney Film Productions - cool news on this soon], Shan and Sam for looking after me between shooting/post shoot)

You can keep up to date by visiting Grape IG Page, as well as checking out the current Go-Fund me page used to help raise funds for post-production and it’s festival screenings.

Recently, the feature film Residence completed principal photography and is now in post prod! It’s been a while since shooting began and little by little, the wonderful film has finally completed the biggest undertaking. I can’t wait for the world to see Rongo and what role he plays in the Residence world.

And finally, I’m currently part way through shooting another movie in Newcastle. There have been many a trip back and forth between Sydney and Newy but it’s been a wonderful ride. It’s also a major opportunity for me, as it is a lead role and the opportunity to showcase sides of my acting I’ve not had the chance to before. I’m so proud of what’s been shot thus far, and can’t wait to get this out into the world. More news on this very very soon!

'Form/Dissolve' has been released with 'Pluto' as lead single; New Voice Over spots for Bupa Dental

My new EP Form/Dissolve has been released! It’s been a while since I’ve released music so it felt great getting this out into the world. Zak Roams, Derek J. Turner, Jono Fernandez and May Ladkani were contributors to the release - out on all streaming and purchasing platforms. I did make the decision to postpone the music video with extra things planned . It’s expected to drop later in Autumn, alongside some cool new additions. Check out the lyric video for title track Pluto:

Another release this week comes from a cool series of voice over spots I did for Bupa Dental Australia. Thanks to Igor + team from Eden Creative, Bupa and Simone from EM Voices. Check out the spots below
