  • Storytelling is such a powerful way of waking people up.

    I think screen is the most powerful means of shaping how we think about ourselves.

Following on from my production skills in the undergraduate course (Media Arts and Production), this was a broader experience that allowed me the opportunity to experience many new aspects of the screen industry.

Being able to work with real-world clients and helping them with content creation allowed me to see first-hand how the lessons in class were applied in the industry. This was my first time working on a commercial project.

I studied Media Arts and Production at UTS and learned the foundations of my practice. I am relieved to see a revived focus on ethical and sustainable media practices, and believe that our screen industry will be in reliable hands if the new generation of storytellers are educated with this integrity as core to their study. Activism and entrepreneurship are often denied space in academia, and I am excited that this new masters will encourage graduates to contribute back to society in a meaningful way, to make the world better than how we inherited it.
