About Me

Where do I start? I am engaged to a wonderful boy, named Cameron Stone, who I am desperately in love with (most of the time!) I come from NZ - born and bred in Palmerston North - but my heart lives in the beautiful, 4 seasons in one day, WELLINGTON. One of my favourite things is to fly in to Welly over that ocean, looking at the beautiful harbour, mount vic, ocean pde, the arts museum and all my memories down the main strips and malls... I am a PASSSHHHIONATE FILMMAKER! I love films. I love making films. I love writing films. I love acting in films. I love producing them. and above all - I love love love directing films that tell an incredible story, that move people to laughter and tears, who show life from a new angle, who challenge new thoughts and new views (sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes delicious). I love LOVE LOOOOVE watching films. Infact, if my whole life was split between sitting in the darkened cinema, curled up on a couch with my family watching DVDs, furiously typing away at my latest screenplay or on set - doing ANYTHING - then I'd be a very happy chicken!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

phew... ok I would love to meet Judy Dench - she is a hero for me and a woman of such grace and strength of character - her eyes come out of the film and pierce me. Peter Jackson - he is incredible. I so love that he came from a guy who just couldn't get enough of film, and funded the filming of his films and short workshops on special effects through his paper job to the man who had NZ moving heaven and earth of have LOR shot and influencing the film industry at large - all with the cheek of a child in a playgroung and the strength, pride & territorial nature of the Lion on the sahara plains... Tim Burton - Tim your brain is incredible - I love you work - just keep making your films! AND SOOOOO many more - I'll update as I go... People I would love and will work with one day include: Cate Blanchet - you are a full and magical actress. Kate Winslet - I have watched you from heavenly creatures through to Little Children. I love you work. I love watching you breath life into your characters, their world is sacred and a playground to you. Anthony Hopkins - you are shocking! I love it.
