Stuart has over 25 years of international content production and post production experience. Starting in the camera department at the age of 17 he “climbed the ladder" within 12 years to become an award winning, internationally recognized “Director of Photography" of feature films, TVC’s and television Drama. He then progressed to become a Director of multimillion dollar Music Videos and Television commercials whilst crafting award winning work for Artistes such as the Backstreet Boys and Tom Jones, Madonna and brands like HSBC, Telstra and Pepsi. As a Director-Cinematographer Stuart soon built a reputation of being an effective creative resource with strong technical skills that could be relied on to efficiently deliver "the creative." Stuart’s love of all things technical has made him an expert in post production and digital FX techniques. He has owned and managed Post production and Production companies in London, Toronto and Australia; making him acutely aware of the business acumen required to meet a clients creative challenges on time and on budget. It was a logical step for Stuart to move into Executive Producing in 2010 when he immigrated to Melbourne with his Australian wife. In this role he has been employed by some of Australia's largest production and media groups (Ominlab media and Dentsu Aegis) successfully implementing new Digital production systems and building business growth. As an aggregator of talent and technological resources Stuart’s producing skills are honed with the stark realism that comes from working in every department and every position within the Film and TV industry. Whether it’s hanging out in helicopter over Melbourne shooting for the Australian Grand Prix Launch campaign, developing and executing the creative for Simplots Lean Cuisine "Steam" campaign or Producing and DOP'ing Madonnas World wide Rebel Heart Tour" in Australia. Stuart is a creative and reliable resource to draw on to develop your next project.
