Award-winning feature film Director & Writers-Guild Screenwriter teaching film directing & screenwriting to all levels.

Gene is so generous with sharing his knowledge.
It is so nice to talk to someone who has so much experience within the industry.

I would recommend Gene any day, every day, to everyone.

I worked with Gene recently on his latest production “Control”.



From the moment I met with Gene at the audition I knew if I was to get the role I would enjoy working with him.



It was my first ever time on a movie set and Gene was nothing but supportive, helping me with everything and anything I needed. His patience was second to none and he would take time out of his busy schedule to help with different film terminology and share his valuable on-set expertise.



Gene is a very kind, funny, professional yet understanding person. I learnt so much from Gene in a week which I will be forever grateful for.



I sincerely hope I get to work with Gene again as he has so much to offer. Any potential students will gain so much knowledge and experience as well as meeting a wonderful person.

Gene is by far the most knowledgeable director& producer I have worked for. He has covered all areas of the industry gaining years of experience and expertise. I stepped into producing 2 years ago and most recently for Genes direction have now completed an entire feature film as an actor and producer. His coaching throughout as both an actor and producer was invaluable, and I can’t recommend him enough.

Gene is an amazing human! Talented, kind and full of quality information and a top bloke too….here’s why:

My daughter wants to be a director in film and TV and when I asked if Gene would help he accepted with the drop of a hat. His enthusiasm he showed talking to my daughter and he amazing knowledge was not only beneficial for my daughter but also for myself. Gene spent an hour with my daughter talking about directing and other avenues that would help my daughter in her quest to become a director. My daughter and I left Gene not only wiser but also very pleased that such a wonderful person we have found. Thank you Gene from both of us.

Gene and I have worked together several times for over a decade, and it was Gene who helped to give me my start and education in the Film Industry.
Gene has mentored me over the years, from my first start as a Production Assistant through to becoming a Production Manager and then onto becoming a Producer.
Gene's vast wealth of experience and knowledge has been crucial throughout my journey, and he is always willing to offer advice and support and to impart some of that knowledge to anyone who asks him.
I wouldn't be where I am today without Gene's guidance, and it always gives me a great deal of confidence heading into each new project and scenario knowing that Gene is just a phone call away if I need some advice.
