Lav migrated to Australia in ’96, settling in the Sunshine State of Queensland. Through his University film degree, he quickly established his niche, exploring themes of identity struggle, culture, crime and nihilism - whilst always pushing the envelope of censorship with his delicate yet striking visual aesthetics and high production values. His critically acclaimed work demonstrates a flare for performance based narrative and strong characterisation.
In 2008, Lav was awarded an Australian Filmmaker of the Year award at BBIFF, followed by Queensland Filmmaker of the Year in 2009 at GIFF and other prestigious domestic and international film festival awards.
Lav is also a sought after commercial director (which keeps him on set and match-fit) directing brand-name national and international campaigns.
Through his passion and understanding of Visual Effects, Lav has come to own a Post Production House, Chop Shop Post.
