Under Iris Arc Pictures, I’ve produced 'Godless: The Eastfield Exorcism', Australia’s first Tubi Original distributed by XYZ Films and Umbrella Entertainment. This true crime horror film was officially selected for the Melbourne International Film Festival and won the Audience Choice Award at the 2023 Sitges Fantastic International Film Festival. My other projects include the femme satirical comedy 'PIVOT', the LGBTQI+ coming-of-age short 'The Fall', and the award-winning Cuban documentary 'Latigo'. Each project has been officially selected for national and international film festivals, showcasing a variety of genres.

And we are actively developing and seeking genre-driven films with powerful social messaging at their core.
