Monks’ most recent work has been the feature film ‘Pulse’, about a young gay disabled boy who changes into the body of a beautiful woman. The film aimed to discuss desire and how we relate to our bodies and was shot in Perth in June.

In his speech, Monks thanked his filmmaking partner and “the platonic love of his life” Stevie-Cruz Martin and his mother Annie Murtagh-Monks, who he referred to as the two strong women in his life. He also thanked his mother for teaching him that it was possible to live a creative life.

Monks has been making films for over six years, and has had his work featured in the Mardi Gras film festival.
