Zealous X WinnerZealous Co
I was selected for my animation 'Nitty Gritty Love' by a panel of industry expert judges as one of 20 winning filmmakers to showcase their work at the Zealous X arts event, at the Bargehouse, South Bank, London. The event was created to provide a physical platform for creativity, enabling artists, the industry and their audience to come together in one place.

I therefore conducted a workshop with a colleague, directing it at the age group 11-14 years. Wanting to help The Lisa Thaxter Trust (a charity helping children and teenagers with cancer), we coincided our event with our school's annual RAG (Raising and Giving) week.
