Straight after graduation he worked for a year in 2018 at the documentary and factual content company Joined Up Films on shows for SBS, Discovery Channel etc. This is where he co-shot, directed & produced the mini series HP: Mars Hope Planet for the Discovery Channel. In 2018 he also received a nomination for best student director at the Australian Director’s Guild Awards and landed the Screen West “Generate” short film funding. In 2019 Quentin concentrated on his independently produced feature documentary ‘Tribal Wars’ which follows two warring tribes journey to peace in the remote highlands of Papua New Guinea.

  With a thirst for real and impactful stories, Quentin moved to Geneva, Switzerland in 2020 where he is specialising in humanitarian documentarian films for Non-for-profits.  His clients include ‘Doctors Assisting In South Pacific Islands’ (DAISI) and the Swiss Demining Foundation (FSD) to name a couple.

My interest in Filmmaking didn’t develop overnight, but was rather built up over time. It started in High School where I studied Painting and Drawing intensively for four years. I was hooked on Art, yet at the time I hadn't considered Film to become a career path. After graduating, I spent 15 months travelling throughout Europe and predominantly Asia. During this time, I moved from Painting to Photography to better capture what I was experiencing, which incited an interest in Photojournalism – as I loved the truth that emulated from Photography. It’s not until my stay in Dharamsala (Northern India) where I met Lagpha, a Tibetan refugee, that I had my first real experience with Filmmaking.

He explained of how he self-immolated as a protest against the Chinese government in Tibet. He laughed at how he’d failed a few times before succeeding, as every time he would run towards the Embassy, the fire would burn out. I was fascinated by the contrast between the nonchalant-way in which he explained his story and its dark content. Unable to capture this through a photograph, I decided to film a short documentary about this man and his captivating story. I’ve been captivated since. Charmed by the powerful and complex medium that is Filmmaking.
