Inside Film - Rising Talent Interview 2023
“In its essence, I see directing as designing an experience for the audience. It is an immense responsibility and a never-ending journey towards improving your craft and communication, and I think there has to be something slightly wrong with you to persist in the face of so much rejection! But I think the unbreakable drive to try and understand the human experience and translate that into stories keeps me going, and a deep love of art and people in all their terrible, joyful, beautiful complexity…” - READ MORE

SUBURBAN WILDLIFE - Feature Film
SEPTEMBER 2019 - The Curb - Suburban Wildlife Film Review
Suburban Wildlife is low-fi storytelling delivered by knowing storytellers. Nina, Louise, Alice, and Kane, are inhabited characters who are real and lived in. They exist outside of the screen, they walk amongst us. The fact that directors like Imogen McCluskey, Lucy Coleman, and Steve Jaggi, are pushing these stories out on miniscule budgets, under $4000 here, a crowdfunded $3000 there, and creating such vivid portraits of suburban life, is impressive.
There’s a minor revolution occurring in the world of hyper-independent Australian cinema, and it’s taking place in the suburbs of Sydney at the hands of filmmakers with a few bucks to their name. Keep an eye on this world, there is great stuff coming…

SEPTEMBER 2019 - AACTA - Festival Conversations: Green Shoots
A modern Australian coming of age story is a rare treat in an industry that’s slightly fatigued by static nostalgia, often in the shape of lava lamps, burnt-orange trinkets, Tupperware, fondue forks and vintage eskys. The safe, less courageous, inclination is to remain self-referential, looking back at the ‘glory days’ rather than facing the future and all it invites. So, it’s refreshing to see green shoots bursting through in the form of three outstanding feature films in competition for the 2019 ACCTA awards, BILCHED, SUBURBAN WILDLIFE (Imogen McCluskey) and SEQUIN IN A BLUE ROOM (Samuel Van Grinsven)… READ MORE
