Since I
was 15 years old I have been a competitive Endurance Horse Rider.
Endurance is a sport where we ride horses 80kms or more. This sport has
borne in me a love for the outdoors, and a desire to protect and
preserve our natural environment.
In 2010 I met Lorraine Bower. She is a passionate crusader in the fight
to end logging of native forests in Australia. To help this cause I made the video below. The
biggest challenge was Loggers do not allow access to the forests, so we
could not get footage of logging without risking arrest.
I have wanted to be a documentary filmmaker since University. I believe
that by teaching people about foreign places and peoples, or educating
them on a significant issue, we can make a difference. If we embrace
this, we can make a better world. The opportunity to go to the Amazon
and film there would change my life, personally and professionally. I
would put my all into the experience, and into bringing the story of
the country and people there to the rest of the world.
