I worked as a Production Assistant for Stone Crescent Films to produce a series of short films for NHS Discovery. These films were for an audience of young people, and were developed with NHS psychologists to produce narrative-driven discussions about mental health and strategies to reduce anxiety and stress. As Production Assistant during a global pandemic, I was also responsible for monitoring COVID safety. I also took on the Assistant Director role on two of the shoot days due to absence of the AD.
