“I’m often drawn to projects that tell real people’s stories, I love getting to know new people, discovering those nuances in someone’s personality and creating cinematic sequences that can bring their story to life. My background in making emotive short documentaries has always relied upon my ability to sensitively interview my contributors and find ways of getting them to open up about themselves and the world around them. “
