Making Films That Matter
As both a documentary filmmaker and charity CEO, I understand how powerful visual storytelling can transform awareness into action.
My award-winning film, My God, I’m Queer, was broadcast on Channel 4 and Film4, and has helped create real social change by touching hearts and opening minds.
Why Documentary Film?
In a world of fleeting social media clips and corporate videos, long-form documentary storytelling offers something different - the space to explore complex issues, build genuine emotional connections, and inspire lasting change.
