Gemma Carfi is an award winning writer and producer whose work spans short films, advertising, music videos and feature length documentary.
Gemma graduated with first class honours from both the Bachelor of Film and Television (Honours) at Swinburne University and the Master of Screenwriting at the Victorian College of the Arts. Her short film Ostrich screened at film festivals in Prague and Pune, India, and most notably won best student short film at Lulea Film Festival in Sweden.
Gemma is particularly passionate about elevating and telling stories that are female led and driven.

A native Melbournian, Gemma hopes to highlight stories that are distinctly Australian, fostering and supporting the continuation of our on-screen cultural identity.
