Journalism

Clayfield was a staff reporter with The Australian between 2008 and 2010. In 2009, he interviewed the parents of Barnaby Joyce, who told him their son would be "ill-advised" to run against Tony Windsor in the federal electorate division of New England.[6] Joyce was still embarrassed about the article years later.[7] The same year he interviewed Christopher Hitchens.[8]

In 2010, Clayfield resigned from The Australian to become a freelance foreign correspondent.[9] His first reporting trips abroad were to Mexico, where he covered the experience of migrants boarding el tren de la muerte,[10] and Russia, where he covered the 2012 Russian presidential election[11] and the North Caucasus.[12] These trips were crowdfunded.[9] He proceeded to work in countries including Iraq,[13] Kosovo,[14] Vietnam,[15] Israel,[16] Palestine,[17] Turkey[18] and South Africa.[19] He has also written extensively about the British Overseas Territories of Ascension Island[20] and St Helena.[21] His most recent work includes a four-part series on the South Thailand insurgency[22][23][24][25] and a five-part series about the Kashmir conflict,[26] both of which were published by The Daily Beast at the end of 2018.

Clayfield was a reporter at ABC Radio Current Affairs between 2016 and 2017.[27]

It has appeared in The Australian,[28] The Monthly,[5] RealTime,[29] The Lifted Brow, Meanjin[30] and Senses of Cinema.[31] His blog, Esoteric Rabbit,[32] ran from 2002 to 2009 and was primarily dedicated to theatre criticism.

Screenwriting

Restoration was nominated for a 2015 AWGIE Award and was highly commended for the 2015 John Hinde Award for Science Fiction.[33] He also wrote the screenplays for the short films How My Next Door Neighbour Discovered Life On Mars and Frog. Clayfield and Willis's feature film screenplay Payload appeared on the 2019 Aussie List[34] and was longlisted for the 2014 John Hinde Award for Science Fiction.[35]
