Jane specialises in stories of environmental justice, action on climate change and social affairs. In 2012 she took redundancy from The West Australian newspaper and went back to university to learn the art of filmmaking. She completed a Masters of Professional Communications at Edith Cowan University in Perth, doing her final units of study at the WA Screen Academy in 2016. 

Jane has made three longer form documentary films and is currently working on her fourth, Black Cockatoo Crisis, which was named winner of the 2021 Brian Beaton Award for social impact. Her documentary Cry of the Forests – A Western Australian Story, released in November 2020, was instrumental in raising awareness and changing public opinion on logging in WA. After a strong social impact campaign around the film, the WA Government announced in 2021 that all native forest logging in the state would end by 2024.

Jane’s other films include A Crude Injustice (2017) and A Fractured State (2016). She is currently updating A Crude Injustice for re- release later this year, as part of a renewed campaign for environmental justice for the people of West Timor, following the 2009 Montara oil disaster. Jane has also written, shot, edited and produced in excess of 100 short form videos on environmental issues, the climate crisis and social justice. Jane lives in the Fremantle area of Western Australia with her husband and family.
