For over 280 days I have been travelling Australia as a nomad – house sitting, pet sitting, couch surfing and camping – all whilst being a full time university student and completing the final part of my arts qualification remotely.  I am on the road until January 2027.

Vanessa starring in Super 8 film – Echo of Shadows

It was wonderful to work with my dear friends Veronica St Clair and film director Gareth Blackstock on the Super 8 film ECHO OF SHADOWS. Acting opposite Giovanni Bartuccio.The film was shot over a six-week period at an array of locations including the Dandenong Ranges, Frankston, Mornington, St Kilda, Rowville, Maroondah Dam, Brighton, and St Andrew’s market in Melbourne. ‘Parks Victoria’ were kind enough to let us use their properties in the film. The cinematography is stunning in this film.  You can check out Mishkin Productions Australia Super 8 website here.
