Blake Borcich

Blake Borcich (born 8 July, 1994) is a young Australian Film Director.

Blake has written and directed over 15 short films, beginning his film-making journey in 2005. Over the years, he has crewed on several Australian short films and recently Blake has focused on directing and editing written works by his colleague, Hugh Jellie. Blake has served as D.O.P. on several music videos and a pilot for the Nine Network, and has fulfilled the role of 1st A.D. on numerous films produced in Victoria. Blake's largest festival success so far has been in the Tropfest competition, where TWO of his shorts were shortlisted in the TOP 50. The Locket received numerous awards around Victoria in 2011. Blake's outlook is to assist in altering the face of the Australian film industry and to inject wide audience appealing "pieces of art" that push the boundaries and tap into the emotions of all viewers, move them, touch them and entertain them.

Blake has worked extensively with Robert Rabiah (Chopper, Underbelly, Face to Face), having directed a short starring Rob (Boston Tommy), and producing several showreels that have helped build his identity in the U.S. market, already garnering interest in major feature projects.

Blake is currently completing his studies at Xavier College, Kew, Victoria, and he recently founded independent film production company LaRoda Films.

As of 2012, Blake is in pre-production for his upcoming art-house short, titled 'RESISTANCE', due for release late 2012. Blake is working again with D.O.P. Matthew Horrex ACS, with Frank Handrum, Francesca Waters, and Tara Fitzgerald.
