PORTFOLIO
filmmaker and composer
I’m Louisa, a multidisciplinary creative based in Sydney, Australia with a passion for filmmaking and composition.
Music and Art has been an ever-present feature throughout my life, so I pursued the one thing that combined them; movie making.

A little bit about me…
I grew up on my family farm in Rural Northern NSW, and owe much of my backbone to the people that raised me. I was introduced to music, art, literature, poetry and films by many influential people in my upbringing and immediately fell in love with creative outbursts.
I play saxophone and piano, and have been fortunate enough to have them open many doors for me; international tours, performing in some of the most prestigious locations and spaces and introducing me to the world of film music.
Since learning that you can combine the visual and the aural, i’ve been obsessed with learning how to stretch both to their complete maximum; film music and filmmaking are my passions and purposes in life.
When I’m not writing or directing, I am behind a camera capturing little moments of humanity, or with an instrument in hand playing for myself and other, or teaching the next generation of musicians.
