Kynan is a Gunai/Kurnai, Gunditjmara and Monero Filmmaker/ Screenwriter based in Narrm (Melbourne), Australia. His passion for storytelling and filmmaking began during his studies for a Bachelor of Media & Communications. Kynan is deeply committed to sharing the Indigenous stories of his people and has set his sights on becoming a prominent storyteller for his culture.

Kynan's dedication to filmmaking has already borne fruit. He had the privilege of working on Typecast's short film "Elders" in 2018 as an Indigenous attachment. Kynan also participated in the Inspirit Lab initiative, a writer’s workshop that consists of adapting an existing IP into a screenplay, learning directly and personally from industry professionals such as Tony Briggs (The Sapphires, The Warriors), Jan Sardi (Shine, The Notebook) and Elise McCredie (The Clearing, Stateless). More recently Kynan participated in the 5-day intensive MIFF Accelerator Program (2024).

These opportunities allowed him to learn from experienced industry professionals and contribute to the creation of powerful stories.

Kynan's goal is to continue using his talent and skills to uplift and amplify the voices of Indigenous peoples in film and media. He believes that Indigenous stories are essential to the cultural fabric of Australia and that by sharing them, he can help foster greater understanding, appreciation, and respect for his people's traditions and values.
