“I had the pleasure of working with Rodney at Aspire Pictures to create a documentary for children on health and genetic diversity and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, he was professional, patient, and deeply committed to ensuring the storytelling was both engaging and accessible.
His ability to guide the narrative while respecting the subject matter was exceptional, and his attention to detail ensured that the final product was of the highest quality. He worked seamlessly with our team, taking the time to understand the needs of our audience and making thoughtful creative decisions that enhanced the film’s impact.
I highly recommend Rodney to anyone looking for a skilled and thoughtful videographer who truly cares about delivering meaningful and impactful work.” Hollie Feller, Genetic Support Network Victoria (GSNV).

He’s exactly the kind of filmmaker you want for projects involving people who may be experiencing vulnerability or crisis – he knows how to bring out their strength, dignity, humour and character.” Zayne D’Crus, Communications Manager, Melbourne Genomics.
