Most women leaving prison eventually end up back inside—but one talented musician is proving that music can be a powerful tool for healing and redemption. SONGS INSIDE is the transformative story of a group of women prisoners in a ground-breaking music program that aims to keep vulnerable women from returning to the prison system. It is a film of hope and compassion that shows we all deserve a second chance in life.
I’m a passionate, award-winning and AACTA nominated filmmaker whose documentaries follow memorable characters on transformative journeys and grant unique access inside closed worlds. My trademark lies in my natural ability to form strong and trusting rapport and relationships with my subjects and their environments, which translates directly to the screen. My most recent award-winning documentary PRISONERS AND PUPS (2017, ABC) involved spending three months inside the Adelaide Women’s Prison with my camera following the story of five prisoners who sign up to foster retired greyhounds. In 2020 I received the South Australian Film Corporation’s inaugural Lottie Lyell Award, which is granted to a female filmmaker demonstrating courage and boldness in their work.
