He is a graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts Film and Television School, Documentary (2005). Gef has a unique combination of filmmaking skills at his disposal. Although predominantly specialising in direction, Gef is also responsible for the scriptwriting, production, camera and editing for many of his projects. As a qualified audio engineer, he is also often actively involved with the on-location sound, sound edit and sound design on his projects. In some instances Gef also produces his own music, visual effects and animations. Gef’s broad range of skills and experience enables him to tackle a wide range of documentary subjects, from deeply political and emotional human rights stories to cutting edge and quirky subculture films. With over fifteen years experience freelancing as a sound professional and musician, specialising in exotic percussion (including an Aria award for music production) it is not surprising that a distinctive emphasis on rhythm and tone has emerged as a feature Gef’s filmic and editing style. Innovative uses of digital technology and the D.I.Y aesthetic are also key elements of Gef’s overall style.
