In 2007 he founded iCandy Productions with business partner Cameron Nugent, and has made numerous short films, music videos and corporate presentations. In 2010 he was awarded funding to produce a short film, Spider Walk through Film Victoria's 'Propellor Shorts' funding scheme.

Numerous producer roles have since followed, with 2017 marking the completion of his debut feature film, A Boy Called Sailboat , written and directed by Cameron Nugent. From 2017 to 2018 he spent time in Montana, USA, as a producer on the period feature film Robert the Bruce . 2018 saw him tour the live soundtrack performance of the feature film A Boy Called Sailboat with the Grigoryan Brothers around Australia.
