Heriot launched onto the world stage as director of The Secret , a chilling docudrama about psychics investigating an infamous double murder. Sensing Murder starred Rebecca Gibney and was the top-rating show nationally in the Sunday night movie time-slot. Subsequently, Heriot was the series producer of 6 movie-length episodes the following year. In 2007, Heriot co-directed The Elevate Film and Music Festival at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, home of The Academy Awards. The sell-out festival showcased 25 short films and music videos that were produced in just 48 hours for the festival and featured the elevating work of artists including Alanis Morisette, India.Arie, Missy Higgins and Kevin Costner. In 2014, Heriot wrote and directed The Power of the Heart - a feature-length docudrama starring Paulo Coelho, author of 'The Alchemist', Jane Goodall, Eckhart Tolle, Maya Angelou and other icons who lead you to rediscover the treasure in your chest. The Huffington Post named it one of the most heart-opening films of the year.
To fund his short films in high school, Heriot made juggling balls and sold them to shops around Melbourne.
