Neisha Dallamora
WRITER | PRODUCER
Neisha Dallamora is a writer and producer whose work blends sharp visual style with offbeat, genre-bending storytelling. She holds a Master’s in Producing from AFTRS, a Bachelor of Arts Management from WAAPA, and a Diploma of Visual Merchandising from RMIT.
Drawing on her Italian-Ukrainian heritage, she loves exploring character and culture through the depiction of food, a theme examined in her Master’s exegesis at AFTRS. Her background in design and events installation brings a strong visual sensibility to her filmmaking, while years working in cinemas across Australia and the UK have shaped a strong instinct for audience connection.
Neisha gravitates toward bold narratives that challenge convention, with a particular love for black comedy and speculative fiction. Her graduating shorts Set Menu and Eat Up! have screened at multiple festivals and received international recognition, including finalist status for the 2024 CILECT Prize, a Best Screenwriter nomination at CinfestOZ 2025, Best Comedy at Canberra Short Film Festival 2025, and the Jury Special Award at the All Asian Independent Film Festival 2025.
