International film School, Sydney

After quite a few years working in digital media education, production and research at the the Powerhouse Musuem of applied arts and sciences I am, as of today, taking up a new role as Head of Technological Arts at the International Film School, Sydney



IFSS is a relatively new and dynamically exapnding instution, I am very excited by the chance to put in practice some of the broad spectrum of the ideas I have written about in the filmmaking manifesto Holistic Thinking - Integrated Making.

The school has a strong focus on screenwriting, directing and storytelling and to this I hope to bring a holistic apporach of integrated production process to make for self-sufficient, technologically empowered and forward-thinking filmmakers of the future. Filmmakers who think beyond traditional theatrical paradigms and are ready to embrace the myriad of possibilities for what filmmaking is and can be.

Head of IFSS, Duncan Thompson, speakes in this video about the culture of IFSS and what it represents.



In a world awash with education fire-sales where any skill can be bought from the cheapest bidder, IFSS represents something quite fresh and exciting. You can read more about the philosophy of IFSS here.

Rest assured the new gig wont subvert my blogging here on the DigitalBasin; moreover I hope it should greatly enhace and expand the topics covered.

Congratulations, Mike. I hope the job works out well and that you are able to get young film-makers to open up new horizons, both technically and creatively.

Keep filling the Basin - it's one of my favourite reads of the week!

Thanks so very much Matt. You've made my day with your kind words. I hope the Basin continues to be a good read. I'll do my best.
