Biography
Zeke Morgan-Hind is a Perth-based filmmaker, educator, and media creative whose work spans documentary, narrative film, and educational media. His practice explores identity, resilience, technology, and the hidden forces shaping contemporary communities, balancing cinematic craft with grounded, human-centred storytelling.
Zeke began his directing career with Faces in the Crowd (2018), co-directed with Jake De Agrela, a character-driven drama about a comedian confronting his inner demons on stage. That same year, he directed The Unqualified Artist (2018), a short documentary profiling artist Helen Norton and her critique of tertiary fine arts education. He followed this with Unsheltered (2019), a socially conscious documentary examining youth homelessness in Perth, reinforcing his commitment to issue-driven storytelling.
In 2019, Zeke expanded into narrative shorts including The Pretender, which explored corporate identity and personal sacrifice, and CRADLE, a coming-of-age drama co-directed with Jack Bett and Jake De Agrela. He later directed Hitched (2020), a comedic road film centred on love, chaos, and responsibility, and served as First Assistant Director and Editor on Puncture (2021), directed by Cassandra Power.
After a brief hiatus from directing, Zeke returned to long-form documentary with Spark of the Dream, a documentary series following Tom Sapienza’s journey into professional wrestling. The project reignited his focus on observational storytelling and led to his first feature-length documentary, The Femme Fatales of West Australian Wrestling, chronicling five pioneering women who helped reshape a male-dominated wrestling industry in Western Australia.
Prompt: Make a Documentary (2026), marks a thematic evolution in his work. Set within Australia’s shifting screen and education landscape, the film investigates the rapid integration of artificial intelligence into filmmaking and asks whether emerging technologies will democratise storytelling or erode the human foundations of cinema. Through interviews with filmmakers, educators, researchers, and industry practitioners, the documentary explores authorship, ethics, labour, and creative identity in an era increasingly defined by automation.
Alongside his filmmaking practice, Zeke is an educator and creative industry practitioner whose work actively bridges screen production, digital technologies, and media education. As a secondary Media and Digital Technologies teacher in Western Australia, he develops industry-informed learning experiences that encourage students to critically engage with storytelling, emerging technologies, and contemporary media culture.
This dual perspective as both filmmaker and educator has become central to Zeke’s creative identity. His projects frequently examine how technological change influences artistic practice, audience behaviour, and the future of creative industries.
Beyond film, Zeke runs Mr Media Creative, producing multimedia content for schools, brands, and independent creatives. His work across commercial, educational, and independent sectors reflects a commitment to meaningful storytelling, creative experimentation, and conversations that challenge audiences to reflect on the evolving relationship between people, technology, and art.
Zeke’s body of work reflects a filmmaker navigating both story and system - committed to human-centred narratives while critically engaging with the tools reshaping contemporary media.
