A film director, screenwriter, producer and comic book writer. While he was a child, he dreamed of becoming a film director. He graduated from The Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. During his studies, he produced his first films – music videos and short films. His early film Stygian won “The Best Guerrilla Film" at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival (MUFF) in 2000. Soon after this success, he created his first short DVD with his friend Leigh Whannell. Thanks to that short video, he gained popularity in the film industry. He participated in many projects, such as Saw I (2004), Saw II (2005), Saw III (2006), Dead Silence (2007), Insidious (2011), Furious 7 (2015), and Aquaman (2018).
