About me
Highly organised and resourceful documentary filmmaking graduate with a strong worth ethic and can-do attitude. A keen interest in documentary and video content creation. I am driven and inspired by stories that touch on emotion and showcase the human experience. I am also interested in how the stories can be translated within the commercial realm to make something memorable that truly stands out.
Projects
  • Dance Free (A Documentary Short)
    Dance Free (A Documentary Short)Dance Free explores the practise of dancing ecstatically with a group in a woods in Lincolnshire. Looking strange to passers-by, the dancers move in nature ‘like no one is watching’ and let go of all inhibitions while listening to a soundtrack which is played through silent disco headphones. The dancers in this documentary explain the significance and ritual of the practise for them and put into words how and why they find it liberating. Directed by Ava Majumdar Produced by Maddie Chivers Cine
