Directing
is a way
to amplify storIES
that I care
about.


STORIES THAT HAVE the potential to change lives.

 


Born in Melbourne, Australia, Frank was attracted to film from a young age.

His passion turned a corner when he was asked to audition in an amateur production of THE MISER And the rest, as they say, is history.

Graduating from RMIT (with a bachelor in Graphic Design), Frank quickly developed a reputation as a hard-working result generating producer. 

Not one to sit around waiting for things to happen, Frank created opportunity and did whatever was required to gain the knowledge and experience, taking on any industry work he could.

Working closely with actors like Jerry O’Connell, Justin Long, Hilarie Burton, John Corbit, Jake Busey and Jason Lee, Frank realised his authentic energy and excitement came when positioned behind the camera.

In 2012, Frank moved to LA to further his experience in writing and directing, working for various production companies and directing his first independent feature film starring Jason Lee titled Growing Up Smith

The award-winning film received critical acclaim and ignited Frank' desire to direct movies and encourage brave performances. 

"Having worked as an actor, I know how to motivate characters. What buttons to push and perspectives to challenge".


"Directing on set with an army of creatives is a thrill and a privilege. 

It's an opportunity to amplify a story that you care about and has the potential to change lives in the world".
