Craig's recent stage performances have been met with acclaim, including his solo production of Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol, his portrayal of Thomas Novachek in The Street Theatre's Venus In Fur, and his hilarious turn as the tragic clown that is Yvan in Yasmin Reza's Art, all of which further cemented his reputation as a skilled and captivating actor.

He’s also been honing his filmmaking skills with various short film, web-series and documentary projects seeing him both in front of, and behind, the camera. These include writing, directing and performing in Under The Bed (Official Selection CSFF 2018, Winner Best Actress), The Photographer (Official Selection LCA 2018 and CSFF 2018, winning Craig Best Actor CSFF 2018), AKA Harvey Norman (Official Selection LCA 2019, CSFF 2019 and Port Shorts 2019).

Craig's ability to merge live theatre with cinematic storytelling was evident in his critically acclaimed production of St Nicholas (directed by Shelly Higgs), which was live-streamed to audiences. This innovative blend of mediums continues to inspire his creative exploration.

In 2021, Craig collaborated with the Creswick Collective on the documentary project Together Alone, chronicling the creation of a large-scale mural by acclaimed artist Luke Cornish (E.L.K.). The series received an Innovation in Storytelling Award at the 2021 Canberra Short Film Festival, further recognizing Craig's commitment to unique storytelling approaches.

Most recently he completed principal photography on his first feature, SNATCHERS, a comedy thriller which he both wrote and directed. Currently in post-production and with keen interest from several sales and distribution companies, SNATCHERS looks to premiere early 2025.
