Richard Jamze is an emerging queer writer/director from Australia who focuses on bold, character driven stories with heightened genre elements. His latest project, 'How Quickly Clouds Move', was selected for the prestigious Mardi Gras Film Festival Completion Fund, presented by Queer Screen. An initiative supporting outstanding LGBTQIA+ feature projects and new voices in Australian cinema. Past awarded films include Lesbian Space Princess, and Sunflower. Jamze established himself as a resourceful multi-hyphenate, with hands-on experience across directing, producing, cinematography, editing, and visual effects on his debut micro-budget dark comedy 'Santa Hunters', a story about pursuing a dream at all costs and the burden it leaves on family. His work has screened internationally at BAFTA and BIFA recognised festivals, with his short film 'Miss Nothing' running in contention for Best Short Film at the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA).
