CADEN

Caden is an emerging writer, director, and producer, and the founder of Resonant FIlms, hailing from the Far North Queensland, with a passion for storytelling. He has roots in the Bagarrmugu and Kuku Yalanji Aboriginal clans from Cape York and in England and Ireland.

He has created captivating documentaries shedding light on Aboriginal communities and people in the Cape York region, including 'Wawu Divine Hope,' a love letter to his hometown, Hope Vale, commissioned by NITV and backed by Screen Queensland (SQ) in 2020.

Caden's dream of joining TV writers' rooms materialized in 2018 when he began as a notetaker, steadily climbing the ranks. He collaborated with renowned production companies like CJZ, Fremantle, Wooden Horse, Essential Media, and Inkey Media, transitioning from notetaking to actively contributing to drama series brainstorming and plotting.

SQ's support has been pivotal in Caden's journey, providing development support for his feature screenplay 'Steer the Nation,' along with an SQ residency and opportunities to attend market conferences in Los Angeles, London, Sydney, and Melbourne.

He began his writing career at the Australian edition of The Epoch Times in 2008 and returned in 2020. He currently writes as a freelancer for the US Epoch Times while developing a slate of drama and factual screen projects.
