After failing to get a normal job for a few years, I joined up with the Screen Actors Workshop. My thought process being if I’m going to get rejected by hundreds of job offers, it might as well be for the thing I actually want to do with my life. At one of my last interviews, a Toys R Us in Erina, I met a dashing lad who was in the process of making a film named Tom Danger. We hit it off immediately and he told me to come audition for the film he was making. It wasn’t until after I landed the role that we realised we had known each other years prior, from a local acting school in Gosford, Chris Kings Young Talent School. Building from my connections on this film allowed me to go on and create my very own film entitled Remember Redfield, utilising some of the very talented cast and crew from this feature.
