ASE QLD committee member for 8 years.

Stewart started in the film and television industry in Melbourne in the early 90's, working as an apprentice within the wedding video industry, a radio station technician and voice artist, and a freelance art department runner/set dresser. In the late 90's he gravitated into small corporate videos and low budget commercial work, serving in both cinematographer and editing roles.

In 1998, Stewart moved to Brisbane to undertake film studies to hone his dramatic filmmaking skills, eventually graduating with a Masters in Screen Production from the Griffith Film School in 2005. During this time, he cut his first feature film 'Bad Acting' (dir: Jackie Ryan, 2000) and has cut a number of independent short films and documentaries. Since then, he has worked on a number of funded and independent productions in a variety of roles and now specialises in freelance corporate and commercial work.

A passionate educator and cinephile, he has taught at the Griffith Film School in Brisbane, QLD for over 15 years, specialising in post production related courses including editing aesthetics, visual effects, animation and game design. In addition, he also teaches cinematography, production sound and film history.

Stewart has also undertaken secondary school film industry education around a variety of schools in Brisbane and has also designed and run specialist film school camps for students in Winton and Cairns.

He is currently filming his first feature film 'Brisbane', a romantic comedy, as writer/director/editor, due for completion in 2024.
