About Good Eye Deer Video Production company in Sydney, Australia

Gavin grew up experiencing diverse communities cultures and people as the son of humanitarian volunteers. From a quiet boy who felt he had a lot to say but didnt know how to say it he found his voice when he discovered film. Its power to tell emotive human stories in all their myriad complexity and nuance excited him. It lit a fire in him to give voice to the voiceless and to create positive social change.

He graduated at the top of a BA (Communication Studies) in 1998 and founded Good Eye Deer as a vehicle to be able to tell these stories. In the 20+ years since hes produced more than 200 films commercials and online videos and won numerous state national and international awards.

Working towards independent projects of his own Gavin has also been part of a range of factual and scripted productions over the years. He was the Director of Photography (DP) and Editor of The Great Australian Lockout (2007 HISTORY CHANNEL) - a documentary about Australias most violent industrial conflict. For Gavin this project cemented the power of building collaborative ego-free teams. He then went on to DP the award-winning The Unspoken (TROPFEST 2011) and the Australian indie feature - Bathing Franky (2012) - an intimate film dealing with complex human emotion and relationships.

Gavins first independent project was the co-produced co-directed social-justice documentary The Face of Birth (2012) - a film exploring the importance of womens right to choose how where and with whom they birth. The feature documentary had a profound impact on women across the world and was critical in stopping the criminalisation of homebirth in Australia. Released internationally in 12 languages it continues to inform the education of midwives and birthing women globally.

Over the past five years hes started to develop scripted drama and comedy content and is currently working with Hollywood writers and producers on a feature film under a grant from Screen Australia.
