For centuries, Lunar has been a symbol of femininity and personal evolution, governing the realm of our subconscious emotions - the part of ourselves we often can’t express, but feel so deeply in our soul. Lunar encourages us to look inward, as her phases represent the cyclical patterns of change and transformation in our lives, where we are constantly learning, letting go, and growing. When we embrace Lunar, our most authentic selves can be revealed.

Judas Kiss

As Amara tries to delve deeper into the truth behind what happened that night, tensions begin to rise.

BIO
If you aren’t creating from the heart, then what are you really creating? Since I was a little girl, a piece of me has always been in everything I create, from notebooks filled with stories about fairies and mermaids, to little movies I made with my cousins about spies and tales of rising up against the mean popular girl at school. In every story, there was a reflection of the girl I was at that time, which made the moments I was developing those stories so much more magical. Now, here I am, an aspiring young filmmaker from Brisbane, Australia, with a mission to establish a production company dedicated to telling female-centred stories, focusing on themes of identity, girlhood, transition, and growth. My goal is to create an array of productions; from short films to cinematic works, television series, and music videos, that each explore the authentic and constantly evolving aspects of our identity. What sets my vision apart is my commitment to personally writing and directing many of these stories.
​
​
My passion is driven by a deep love for storytelling and using the art of filmmaking to connect with audiences in a profoundly intimate way. At the heart of my work lies my belief in the power of visual subtlety to foster uniquely empathetic connections with audiences. My hope is for each individual member of my audience to experience the deeply personal moment of seeing themselves, their story and their identity, reflected on screen. Through film, I aim to bring people closer together, encouraging understanding of our shared human experiences.
My life-long love of writing and directing allows me to infuse authenticity into every project, offering a nuanced exploration of the female experience. Through utilising my distinctive filmmakers voice and immersing myself in a range of different production mediums, I aim to bring an array of stories to life. These narratives serve to create discussions surrounding mental health, interpersonal relationships, and the unavoidable occurrence of change and adjustment in our lives.
​
My dual degree focus and an enthusiasm for entertainment marketing drives me to explore new ways of storytelling to captivate the audiences I wish to connect with, ably supporting me in my filmmaking endeavours and allowing myself the ability to make strategic decisions surrounding showcasing my work.
This venture is not merely about filmmaking. It's about uncovering the voices and experiences that often go unheard. The intricate pathways of our lives are so vastly different, but the emotions we feel are all the same. Words can not describe how excited I am to embark on this journey with you, but the love within my films can.
