A surreal last few weeks as we wrap on MONI. An Australian Pasifika Drama. Working for a Samoan DP @lucastomoana_operator and a Samoan show runner @thepelesasadream is something I thought I’d never experience in my career.
To work alongside @lucastomoana_operator someone I have looked up to and learnt so much from over the years was unreal.
Two Usos behind cameras on set brought me so much pride and joy for the future of our people in this industry. 🇼🇸 Thank you to all the cast and crew who made this experience special.
Grateful for the opportunity to be part of this @thepelesasadream Faafetai Lava 🙏🏾

Grateful to tell this story for @nrl_weststigers . An intense couple weeks on this project, but relieved to get it out in time for Round One, despite the result not being in our favour.
In clubland, you are faced with plenty of challenges when creating, but having the trust of your coaches, and the playing group is the difference between a recap and being able to craft a compelling story, so Grateful to them for backing this.
It’s not perfect 😅 due to time constraints and resourcing, but prioritising the storytelling I think gets it over the line. 😅
If you have a spare second, check out the two-part series “Thrive or Survive” on the Wests Tigers YouTube.
Great to have the young man @jasondaann on to operate on this with me, a great up and coming content creator 🙏🏾 and a thank you to our media team for your support.
Thanks to everyone who has reached out with kind words and to @esmeredith_95 for your patience during the last few weeks. 🤎
Our girl is so blessed. Thank you to our family and friends who came to celebrate our girls first birthday. Thank you for your generous hearts and for dedicating your time to be there. So many loved ones attended who are not pictured but we adore our village 🤍
Special mention to @luluandcaes for the beautiful cake 🎂
Lastly thank you to my love, I wouldn’t want to do this crazy beautiful journey with anyone else 😘
A special birthday for my best friend @esmeredith_95 Charli and @itslabnico mum. Always in my corner and my biggest supporter. I thank God for you and I’m so blessed to be your husband 🤎 esp
