Austin began his filmmaking journey at the age of 12 when he first picked up a camera to make a backyard movie with his brother.

In 2019, Austin was fortunate enough to be awarded the Best Overall Filmmaker Award at the Bond University Film and Television Awards (BUFTA), where he received a full scholarship to study a Bachelor of Film & Television at Bond University. Alongside likeminded passionate filmmakers, he was able to further develop his skills and deepen his love for filmmaking over the two-year course.
