My background isn't in film; it's in managing the national systems for a portfolio of government contracts with an annual spend of $160 million.
Early on, I learned that performance wasn't driven by clauses in a contract; it was driven by purpose. My job wasn't to enforce KPIs; it was to connect my team and 800 contractors to a single, unifying story: we were serving the families of the Australian Defence Force. By reminding them of the why, the contracts and KPIs took care of themselves.
That world taught me one undeniable truth: the biggest threat to any operation isn't in a budget or a spreadsheet. It's in the story, the community and your own people believe.
I founded Beach Shack Productions to apply that same principle at a strategic level. We don't create content; we build narrative platforms that connect your corporate investment to a purpose your community can feel, building the measurable trust you need for your ESG reporting and your social licence to operate.
If you're looking for a filmmaker, I can recommend a dozen.
If you're looking for a strategic partner who knows how to manage risk by managing the story, we should talk.

You already know your operations and investments power Gladstone’s economy. The problem? Reports, ads, and press releases don’t make people feel your impact — and without emotional connection, trust erodes.
Without a clear, human story and a strategic way to deliver it, your licence to operate will always feel at risk.
With the right story and a turnkey platform, you can focus on your core business — while your narrative works in the background to strengthen trust, prove impact, and safeguard your future in Gladstone.

⚡ Trust That Scales
Your narrative becomes a turnkey platform — delivered in multiple formats for PR, internal communications, social media, and stakeholder reporting. One story, many touchpoints, working across every channel to secure your social licence.
Without a clear narrative strategy, even the biggest community investments fall into the same traps:
That gap isn’t just communications inefficiency — it’s a direct risk to your social licence to operate in Gladstone.
My partnership with the Gladstone Chamber of Commerce & Industry (GCCI) on their 'Buy Local' campaign is where I forged the model.
It proved that the key to shifting community perception isn't a bigger ad spend; it's a smarter narrative strategy. I didn't just 'tell stories'; I built a platform that systematically surfaced the human-scale proof of local impact.
This is the work. It's the tangible, repeatable process I now bring to industry leaders to solve their most complex reputational challenges and secure their social licence to operate.
