Currently moving into directing.
As of December 21, my short film,
THE HIT has won the award for BEST SHORT FILM at the Dunedin Fringe Festival 2006.
www.dunedinfringe.org.nz/node/41
It has also won the award for BEST EMERGING DIRECTOR at the Big Mountain Short Film Festival.

AND won the award for MOST PROMISING FILM MAKER at the Mamga Short Film Festival in Rotorua.
..
TAGLINE: EVERYONE HAS A POINT OF NO RETURN.
PLOT OUTLINE: AN ABUSED AND ABANDONED STREET KID IS FORCED BY HIS SADISTIC BOSS TO EXECUTE A CONTRACT 'HIT' ON THE HEAD OF A LOCAL GANG, ORGANIZED BY THE GANG LEADER'S ESTRANGED WIFE. WHAT FOLLOWS IS NOTHING SHORT OF HORRIFYING FOR ALL THOSE INVOLVED.
Presently, THE HIT isn't available on the net for viewing and won't be until it does the rounds at the film festivals. If you ABSOLUTELY don't think you can wait till it's .., let me know and maybe I can arrange something.
Several comments thus far:
"The best payoff I've ever seen in a movie" -Jack Woon, director of BE SHARP, SEE FLAT
"Cool! Hehe. Totally unexpected outcome" -Derek Pearson, director of EVENT 16
"THE HIT rules!!! ...It's very very VERY good" -August Krickel, S.C. USA
"…quite original… How amazing to pull all of that together on a budget of $100." -Annalise Patterson, Director
UPDATE!!! As of NOVEMBER '07
For the second year in a row, I've won MOST PROMISING FILM MAKER at the Mamga Short Film Festival in Rotorua.
This year for my pseudo musical-documentary
'MRS BRACEGIRLDE'S WOODLYN PARK ADVENTURE'
Also, I'm currently in pre-production for my next film which I hope to shoot sometime by June. If you are a producer looking for a potentially dangerous yet quirky project, contact me! More details to come.
If you WRITE me or LINK to my page, I will endeavour to reply as quickly as possible but my life is pretty chaotic so if you don't hear back for a while, send me a gentle reminder.
Until I can figure out how to embed a video clip, cut and paste the following link to check out a cool, short film I was in earlier this year. I mean, how often does an actor get to throw lightening bolts?!?

I hope all is well. Here's my latest work; it's probably the last Lucy portrait I'll do. I have to get back to editing a novelette for publication in a magazine. If you want to comment on this new art, stop by my latest blog, "Lawless: Back In Black".
thank you for adding us!! what did you feel when Xena gave you "the pinch"? lol..now you know that you have fans in Spain too.Some of us are going to the Xena con in Burbank and it'd be great that you were there ;-) Have a great week and take care!
I hope you're enjoying your summer. I just posted a couple of new portraits up on my MySpace page, as well as an old piece of animation I worked on for MTV quite a few years ago. I've been taking a break from writing, but I hope to get back into it soon.
Hi Campbell-and thanks for the add! I'll look around for you in Xena. I'm working on a new novella now. If possible, have a read of the two pieces on my MySpace page and drop off some feedback.
I'm also trying to find a place for a short story I wrote. One magazine liked it, but said they had no place for it at this time. Ah well-gotta keep looking!
Thanks for the comment. Don't worry about the internet thing, I know what your going through. Had the same problem when I was moving to L.A. I will definately like to keep in touch..
Hello Campell how is it going. We are playing on Thursday at Bacio Bar on Krd. Its going to be a mega party for us (cause thats what we do). Come along and join in on the dancing and misbehaving. On around 9ish.
Cheers
Thank you for adding me , Oh yeah They are my Favorite Breed of Dogs I used to show them . That is a good EP its really funny . I felt so bad for you haven to be drooled on eww but hey if you have to be drooled on no one better to have it done by then Renee ; )
Tc and thank you again
I know I've seen you on the show (xena), but I honestly didn't know which eps until I read your comments and saw that someone else had solved (or almost solved) the mystery for me. Kudos to them, although, if I would've researched a bit, I would've discovered it as well...Anyway, thanks for the add!
Thanks Campbell! Yes do keep in touch and would still like to meet up to get a view of The Hit at some stage, give me a text or email. Also will update you on when The Agent is finished. Thank you very much for your help on the project and excellent work as our second AD, loved having you on board. Thank you once again for all your efforts and keep in touch! :)
