The Cast & Crew of Happy Sundaes

On the Set of "More Than Beautiful"

Despite his very young face, Chris has been working in the entertainment industry for well over a decade, beginning his career in the Animatronics Department of a BBC Live Kids Show. After two Australian tours, and three UK tours, he moved into lighting design for live productions – a job that has taken him around the globe – lighting circus’s in Taiwan, Casino’s in South Africa and Google Launches in New Zealand.

Chris has a great love of all things technical – and after completing a bachelor of Film & Television at Swinburne University, he went on to work on a huge range of independent feature films, video clips, short films and television programs in various technical roles, from sound recordist, to gaffer, to editor. He currently looks after all things technical at LateNite Films – ensuring that each production makes the use of the best and more current technology and workflows.

On top of his LateNite duties, Chris also works as the Post Production Supervisor at Melbourne’s award winning editing house The Butchery, and their sister company The Refinery – as well as lecturing Post Production classes occasionally at Swinburne University.

Insert Bad NZ Humour Here

The first video content Michael created was in his final week of Year 12, where running around the streets of Altona with a Sony Handicam seemed more important than studying. That video went on to win the 2008 Escapist Film Festival, beginning Michaels 18 months of nonstop production on successful web-series Doomsday Arcade.

Working on every capacity of that series – working as Director, Writer, Editor, Actor, Sound dude, Composer and Visual Effects guy – educated Michael about his passion as he bluffed his way through his job pretending to have Talent.

Nowadays, Michael distracts himself from his hopeless loneliness and crippling impotence by dabbling in Writing, Directing and Visual Effects.

"It's just an Apple"

Film and entertainment is in Alistair’s blood. All his life he has been entertaining, whether it be on stage at school, on the screen at Swinburne Film School or in the studio at 16th Street Actors Studio. After a few years cutting his teeth in the entertainment world at various institutions, Alistair went onto complete a Bachelor of Film & TV at Swinburne University.

In his final 18 months of the course, he was taken under the wing of genre film extraordinaire, Richard Franklin (Road Games, Psycho 2, Hotel Sorrento). Richard mentored Alistair and really instilled a belief in him as a writer and director. His final year project was the opening 15 minutes of a feature that he had been writing called SHOTGUN! which starred Steve Bisley, Samuel Johnson, Rachel Ward & Simon Lyndon. Alistair went onto win Best International Comedy Short & Best International Director of a Short at the New York Independent Film Festival.

Since then he has been working on the feature length script of SHOTGUN!, sketch shows, docos and has been acting in between. Alistair is currently working very closely with iconic Australian actor Samuel Johnson on a documentary and event that is going to capture the imagination of the nation.
