Since 2010, Tristan has volunteered for community radio station RTRFM 92.1 as a reviewer on the Movie Squad segment, Friday mornings 7:30am each week. Movie Squad is also available as a podcast.
From 2016, Tristan publishes a zine of movie recommendations called VHS Tracking. Each issue has a variety of artists and writers contributing to a different theme or topic. While also occasionally contributing reviews or art, Tristan edits the zine and organises the layout as well.
Tristan is a film programmer, collaborating with cinemas and institutions for their events including: Luna Palace Cinemas for the Trash Classics series of cult movie nights; Goolugatup Heathcote gallery for the artist-programmed VHS Tracking Presents monthly film club; and City of Perth Library for their Winter Film Club of screenings held in the COP Library Auditorium.
