Founder of A Drama Queen's Production

I am an award-winning filmmaker, writer, and editor creating content such as short films, documentaries, music videos, and live shows. I fell in love with movies as a child and have carried that passion for storytelling with me into university where I studied drama and film, and now into my career as a filmmaker. I love to tell profound stories with complex characters and original ideas. I love taking risks in my projects and I am constantly looking for new ways to tell stories.
While my focus is towards writing, directing and editing, my first passion for film and storytelling was acting.
I enjoy working with equally passionate people and sharing ideas. I often find inspiration from what and who I see around me and of course imagining crazy, weird scenarios like any good storyteller.
My screenplays and films vary in length and genre, including, but not limited to: thrillers, horrors, dramas, and comedies.
Collaborators
Lana Haas

Lana has been here since Day 1. Her artistry for transforming our cast into the unimaginable has been a game changer!
Through her graphic & hyper-realistic prosthetics and makeup designs she is telling stories that just wouldn't be possible without.
Emily Adamson
Editor, Colourist, 1st AC
Emily has been with us since the very beginning, going back to her university days.
Her ability to shape the film into a true story is unlike any other. Emily has taken on a number of post-production roles including colour grading, sound editing, and VFX. She is as versatile as they come!

Not only a talented performer on the screen, but also a powerful storyteller on the page!
Vishnu has been sharing his stories on countless projects. His scripts range from comedies to romantic dramas to horror films.
Stephanie Cowan
Script Supervisor
Stephanie first collaborated on the set of 'Balance'. She has been essential in every stage of a film's process, from organizing the scenes to somehow making sense of the chaos that is production that carries into guiding the editor through all the footage in post.
She is the rock that keeps us all grounded on set.
Goncalo Costa

Alex Salustri
Location Sound Mixer
Alex first stepped onto the set of 'Desperate Measures' back in 2022. His prowess behind the boom pole is a true art form as he captures clear, crisp audio in every single take.
Good audio is the difference between a good film and a GREAT film, and Alex is your guy to get it!
