I'm the Flickerfest Tour & Production Manager, I manage the ten-day festival production in Bondi and organise our 50 venue national tour; I also manage the Flickerfest website, do Festival and Tour photography, etc.
Why do you do it?
I love a challenge, working in the arts, and being part of helping to influence an aware, educated and conscious community.
What do you love about the city you live in?
I live between Bondi and home in Mullumbimby hinterland in the Byron Shire, which is now where most of the true colour and the Byron community now resides; it is a unique blend of artists, activists, environmentalists and a place of great organic food, a positive community; it feels like we're trying..
Where did you go for your last holiday?
Vanuatu, a few years ago now; it's a place of simple, sustainable living and some great snorkelling.
What's your favourite item of clothing?
Not a clothes person, minimal, light and natural.
What was your favourite TV show when you were a kid?
The 'Famous Mr Ed' (live action), or 'The Roadrunner' (animation) .
If you could travel back in time for a day, where would you go?
Youth again! Oh, or that day I bulged a couple of discs in my back, going a bit hard moving a fallen tree of my driveway on my property; be careful of your body! Or some of those days living on Belongil Beach… That was before the mega developers started making their moves on Byron region with eco-avg, so-called green-leaved designing ideas; we'll stop them yet.
If we were coming over to your place, what would you cook us?
Something organic, green, spicy and sweet. I do like a chilli prawn pasta with baby spinach leaves.
What's the best lesson you've ever learned?
To be patient and persistent and do what you can to help others doing good things for community and the planet. Knowledge is no weight to carry!
Tell us one thing about yourself that nobody else knows…
Everyone will know then! I don't tolerate greed, ill-placed ego and ignorance.
Are you happy with your work/ life balance?
What's that? I do a fair bit of volunteer work and support the empowerment of others who care for the greater good.
How do you define success?
Happiness and the ability to be available.
What's your spirit animal?
Wedge-Tail Eagle (air), Tiger (land), Dolphin (water).
