Throughout her incarnations as a lawyer, academic and mother, the one constant in Celeste’s working life has been her desire to tell powerful stories. A graduate of the VCA, School of Film and TV (1999), Celeste also worked at AFTRS. Her documentaries are intimate, character-based films that explore the complexities and frailties of the human condition: Mick’s Gift (ABCTV 2002), Veiled Ambition (SBS 2006) and Then The Wind Changed (2011). She is currently working on the acclaimed online digital stories project Big Stories Small Towns. In 2012 she won the Walkley Award for Best Documentary.
