Plastic
Plastic - Music Video 2018 Produced at NIDA
To what extent do we define ourselves and others by the things we do? 'Plastic' is a new music video which explores these questions through the story of a break down in a relationship resulting in a profound moment of purpose. The video is a real and surreal story of love, loss and construction, which counterpoints the minimalist electronic music of Micra. This work is a collision of emotionally rich psychological drama and cerebral construction, think 'Before Sunrise' meets ‘Inception'.

Only the Beautiful
Only the Beautiful - Short Film 2017 Produced at UTS
Loosely based on John B. Calhoun’s mice utopia experiment known as ‘the beautiful ones’, 'Only the Beautiful’ is a short science futurism film about agency. It follows Harold, the child of a rigid, isolating, humanity preserving metropolitan eco-system, who has to decide whether to take actions, to move freely and imperil the system that sustains humanity, or to sit still and condemn humanity to cyclical stagnation. When the system's original architect kills herself, will Harold take over her role preserving its functions or topple the system that has oppressed him his whole life?
