Her latest short Clearing which will tour the international film circuit once completed: At 18, Kaila knows what she wants but battles with an incident that has threatened her motivation to realise her dream. Facing a potentially life-altering decision, she must consider her options carefully. Her previous short KINDRED addresses the global difficulty experienced by ethnically diverse and mixed-race patients desperately requiring matching bone marrow donors. KINDRED had its UK Premiere as part of the Official Selection of the 2019 Crystal Palace International Film Festival.
