I was contracted by YHA (Youth Hostels Assoc.) to direct, film, edit, and produce these series of videos. The brief was to highlight each hostel / destination and showcase why its unique, what there is to do and see and why travellers should stay there. I organised all the travellers to partake in the videos and was the driver / tour guide during each filming trip. I sourced original music for each video and dealt with the artists directly to obtain permission to use it. I also dealt directly with some of the tour operators to plan and partake in activities they offer, whilst we shot on location.

Founded in 2011, by company director and adventurer Sam Hilton. We Travel was born from a love for travel, passion for storytelling and a dream to share it with the world. Taking a camera and a backpack he left Australia travelling through New Zealand, US, Mexico and Bali capturing his experience and sharing it with friends. The feed back was positive and the response overwhelming. It gave him the drive to continue creating and sharing despite a lack of funding and financial hardship. During 2012, Sam took to the road in his van across Australia. Joining him were a bunch of travellers from across the globe, he’s mission was to take them on a search for adventure and provide them with a unique Australian experience.
Working for South Australia Tourism and Geocentric Outdoors I travelled to the Flinders Ranges to film, edit and output news feeds for national distribution. Working to tight deadlines, travelling long distances , mapping and planning to follow the races competitiors and 4wding in rough isolated terrain. Having limited access to output newsfeeds to meet tight deadlines was challenging. I edited this package for the fan and sponsors to thank them for inviting me to work on the race.

Working with the RYSS (Regional Youth Support Services) we produced and directed this short documentary, which I filmed and edited. The brief was to raise awareness about youth and violence , a major issue affecting many families and individuals with the community of ‘2261’. The brief was to tell the story from a youth’s perspective. I hit the streets and talked to youths who had either directly experienced domestic violence or knew someone who had been affected by it.
