My dream…is to someday create an anime.

I wish for the opportunity to share my story and entertain people through the anime medium.
A medium that has inspired, and raised me.


Millennium Exile is an Australian-based project, with the eventual goal of becoming a Japanese Anime. In order to do this, I intend to present myself and my materials to studios in order to facilitate a working collaboration.

The project was first conceived in 2009 as something of a “passion project”, but quickly showed promise in becoming much more.

So…I began to polish and refine it.
I worked several jobs to pay for commission-based artwork from several artists across the world.
Then, in 2015, the project caught the attention of an LA-based producer who took the time to mentor me to better shape the project.
He suggested that I open the project up for donations and financial backing from the general public.

It’s one thing for you to back your own project - you have the most to gain from it doing well. But to have people separating with their own hard-earned money because they believe in you…
That is what shows if your project has legs.

I reluctantly opened up the Millennium Exile Patreon page in 2016 and was instantly overwhelmed by the outpouring of love.
Through the amazing support from fans across the world; I managed to finance a substantial amount of pitching materials & assets.
A demo reel was also created - dubbed by some of the biggest names in the English, anime voice-acting community.
(While the full demo reel will not be posted publicly online, the teaser trailer can be found on the landing page)

The project grew and built a humble, yet passionate audience during its development and planning stages, and I managed to network with some amazingly talented, industry professionals.
However, they strongly suggested that I create Millennium Exile as either a manga or light novel series first.

And thus, the project evolved into something…unexpected.

Millennium Exile has now become a series of light novels, with Volume 1 debuting in 2022.
Having to suddenly become an author was no small feat, and I’m working diligently to bring you - the fans, the fantasy/action, shonen story that you deserve.

There are little-to-no publishing companies here in Australia that I find to be “a good fit” for an anime, light novel series.
Particularly because light novels aren’t really a thing outside of the anime hemisphere.
With American and Japanese houses such as Viz, Seven Seas Entertainment, and Kodansha, (to name a few) being the major players in the publishing game; I have decided to self-publish until such a time, that I can find a company where Millennium Exile can find the right home.

Thank you very much for reading.
I hope you will give me a chance to make a fan out of you as well :)
Much Love.
