ALISON REGAN

Creative Director

Alison is a passionately creative graphic and textiles designer with over 20 years professional practice. She gained industry experience working with some of the more well-known Surf brands, such as Rip Curl and Roxy. Over the past 18 years Alison has worked hard to build up a successful freelance design business ‘alcreative.com.au’, however, despite the heavy demands of business ownership, she remains a loving and devoted mother and wife. She enjoys travelling and keeping active with her family, dedicating time towards animal rescue, participating as an extra in the odd movie scene with her daughter and running marketing campaigns.

JACKSON EZARD

Director

Having spent the past 10 years working professionally around the world in Vancouver, London, Sydney, Melbourne and alongside some of Hollywood’s biggest names including George Miller, Mel Gibson, Taika Waititi, Chris Hemsworth, Jeff Bridges, Sam Worthington, Idris Elba, Tilda Swinton, Benedict Cumberbatch, just to name a few, Jackson came back to Australia in 2020 and got started on his feature directing debut “Dirty Little Secrets” in which, ironically, Stashamo High’s very own Paul Moore plays a pivotal role as a hilarious high school teacher. Drawing his inspiration from the comedy-minded genius of Judd Apatow and Adam Mckay, it is the relatable comedy-styling that Jackson can’t wait to bring out of Stashamo High.

KONRAD McCARTHY

Director of Photography

Becoming known for his cinematography in works such as the family drama “Dirty Little Secrets” (directed by Jackson Ezard and starring Paul Moore) and the horror feature “Residence” (directed by Matt Mirams), Konrad is becoming increasingly sort after for his award winning skills. His television credits in cinematography include series such as: “Method” (Channel 9 Go), the documentary “Stolen Glory” (SBS), “Poisonous Liaisons” (Crime UK), “Relentless” (SBS),Channel 7 Plus’s lifestyle programs “Weekend Prospector” & “Dippers Backyard BBQ Wars”, and Foxtel Comedy Channel’s “The Slot”. With light as his tool Konrad paints scenes with his camera, to ensure that the script’s story comes to life just as the creator had envisioned. He prides himself on perfection, and has a highly trained critical eye for detail. Being a fan of comedy and having shot many sketches for his favourite local comedians (Jack Druce, Damian Callinan, Hot Dads, Jordan Barr, Aaron Gocs and more), Konrad jumped at the chance to add his artistic touch to the Stashamo High School series. We are both delighted and honoured to welcome him aboard the Stashamo team.

DANIELLE GUMINA

Co Producer / Makeup Manager

Since starring as the lead role in her school’s musical production in Year 9, Danielle has pursued a passionate interest in the Arts and Entertainment industry. Once a silver medallist in Ballroom Dancing, she now volunteers her time to organise community focussed events at the Club Italia Geelong, such as the well-known Pasquetta Easter festival. Danielle was born profoundly deaf and relies on a cochlear implant and her loyal hearing assistance dog ‘Honey’. The two are inseparable, with Honey accompanying Danielle to work and to the long string of promotional events which make up their busy schedule. Danielle currently turns her 23 years of experience as a highly skilled administrator to help support others in the disability sector. She is also regarded as a ‘guru’ in the Hair & Beauty industry with over 25 years of dedicated work; and it appears that little dog Honey does not miss out on Danielle’s experience in this industry and the extra pampering, wearing an impeccable coat that could win any dog show. Danielle and Honey inspired several stories in the Stashamo High series, with each starring in cameo appearances.
