Her first feature film ‘ The Money Shot’ closed the Melbourne Underground Film Festival (MUFF) and won Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Male Lead (available on DVD through Accent Underground).  Her second feature, ‘The Band’ has screened at Cannes Film Market (France) and was the opening night film at the Berlin Porn Film Festival (Germany) and has sold to numerous territories around the world.
