I am a freelance filmmaker. Having co-run a film company for two years, I now freelance across branded content, short films and music videos in a variety of different roles.  My first short film (The Old Woman and the Sea) has screened at the Women Over Fifty Film Festival, Little Wing Festival, Manchester Lift-Off Festival and picked up awards at the First-Time Filmmakers Showcase (Best Film), the Barnes Film Festival (Best Narrative Film) and Thunderdance (runner-up for Best Narrative and Best Director). It also screened at the ICA as part of Booth’s Salon and in the foyer at the BFI as part of the Woman with a Movie Camera Summit. I was recently nominated for the Majors Freelancer Award hosted by Major Players.
