This quirky comedy/horror short was created as an opportunity to showcase the talent of the handful of emerging filmmakers who loaned their skills to the film. Shot over two days in my apartment in Sydney, The Writer features some great special effects, highly stylized cinematography and design, big comedic performances, sumptuous sound design, and a score that contains a happy blend of classic horror and retro comedy. Shooting on my iPhone not only made for easy access to the camera throughout planning, but also made it possible to shoot tricky angles from tight spots. The Writer brought together a very small crew of dedicated filmmakers who each put their all into the production. The result is a snappy, stylish, short that packs in a lot of fun and fright. I hope audiences enjoy watching The Writer as much as I enjoyed making it.

I love the process of taking a film from page to screen. Amazing things happen when a group of creative minds come together.
