Greg is best known for his film making. He attended Wintec in Hamilton but, ironically given his future success', failed their Media Arts course on attendance. However, he gained early international recognition for his four-minute short film, Decaff (1995), which was selected to play at the Zagreb Film Festival. His second short film was Sarah's Washing (starring Joel Tobeck), before making his first full length film, The Locals (2003).
In New Zealand he is best known as a prolific maker of music videos, with over 75 produced to date. This number has included a large proportion for Hamilton bands, including "JBS" by Rumpus Room, "Shine", "It Means a Lot to Me", and "Come out, Come out, wherever you are" by Inchworm, "Super Gyration" by the Datsuns, "Confessional" by Love and Violence, "Leather and Tattoo's" and "Home by Two" by 48 May, and "Wolf" by Chuganaut. His support of Hamilton music is also evident by four bands appearing on the soundtrack to his film The Locals. Video's made for (non-Hamilton) New Zealand bands include those for P-Money (Stop the Music), the D4 (Exit to the City) and Betchadupa (Supa Day).
