MEET THE TEAM

David Aponas

AKA "Pony", because 'Dave' is too common.

He's the technical side of the Short Stack brain and cut his teeth on some of the biggest Hollywood productions to come to Queensland. Pony brings an extra dimension to his cinematography with his ability as a Steadicam operator.

He is always challenging himself and sees each project as an opportunity to learn and experiment with new techniques.

OWEN SMITH

Owen has been making films since he was 12 years old. He has a love for cinema and is passionate about telling stories that are both meaningful and entertaining. Owen has written and directed multiple short films and is always looking to explore different themes and genres in his work.

When he's not developing new story ideas for film and TV, he is assisting in the camera department, or designing the lighting for a scene.
