My Work
COMING UP
Daddy's little meatball
(Post Production ) NYC
A New Short Film by Award-Winning Australian Writer and Director Yael Grunseit (Recipient of the JIFF Short Film Fund), with cinematographer Dylan Rizzo​ and starring alongside the magnificent Benjamin Howes.
​
On a once-in-a-lifetime trip to New York, an Australian period underwear salesman and his teenage daughter navigate the city and their strained relationship.​ Sasha, self-conscious and feeling overlooked by her father, struggles with a tendency to sabotage her own happiness.
I'm incredibly proud and honoured to have collaborated on this project with such a talented and passionate group of artists.
Europe changed
my life
(Post Production) NYC
A dark comedy short film by Pete Prudente.
When Ronny’s roommate returns from a summer in Europe, it’s clear she’s not the same—but Ronny suspects her transformation might be more sinister than just post-vacation enlightenment.
​
This darkly comedic satire takes the familiar trope of “coming back from Europe a changed person” to a chilling and absurd extreme, blending humor and suspense in a uniquely twisted way.
Safe in my skin
(Post production) NYC
In this poignant exploration of male friendship and American identity, a Chinese American man returns to his small hometown for a childhood friend’s funeral. As buried memories resurface, they weave a complex and heartfelt portrait of connection, identity, and the passage of time.
Written and directed by Dylan Rizzo, this project was a defining experience during my time in NYC.
​
Not only did I have the privilege of acting in the film, but I also worked as a production assistant, gaining invaluable insight into the collaborative effort required to bring a story to life. Collaborating with passionate friends who share my love for storytelling is a deeply fulfilling experience—one I treasure every time I step onto a set.
​
Whether I’m in front of the camera or behind it, I find both roles equally rewarding. I’m profoundly grateful for every opportunity to contribute to a project, no matter the capacity.
