Trained as a filmmaker, Jazz’s first feature film WINHANGANHA, was commissioned by the National Film and Sound Archive and premiered in November 2023 in Sydney at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. WINHANGANHA is a groundbreaking film made entirely of archival footage that reexamines Australia's audio-visual history from a First Nations perspective. It will continue touring nationally and internationally throughout 2025.
