About me
I am a freelance writer, researcher and film programmer living in London. I love lengthy advice columns, David Fincher and discussing how race, gender and popular culture intersect. I struggle with instant coffee, team sports and the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and sometimes I am a bad feminist. I used to edit the online film journal Kubrick on the Guillotine, and have written for publications including the BFI, BuzzFeed, Dazed, The FADER, Film4.com, Lenny Letter, Little White Lies, VICE’S Munchies, New Statesman, NYLON, Pitchfork, Refinery 29, Sight & Sound and The Guardian.

    The Bechdel Test FestThe Bechdel Test is a simple measure to see if a film has: 1) Two named women 2) That have a conversation with each other 3) About something other than a man. Simple? You'd think so. But less than half the films in 2014 manage to pass the test. in 2015, the test - created by US animator Alison Bechdel - celebrates its 30th birthday. We think it's time to celebrate it with a little film festival in London.

    This International Women’s Day, meet the 200 Women Redefining the Creative Industry in 2018Discover our 2020 list here This International Women's Day, we asked influential icons to nominate 10 trailblazing women who they believe are redefining the creator landscape. The result? A unique and incredible list of 200 trailblazing women breaking barriers and inspiring change! Only 36% of jobs in the creative sector are currently filled by women.

  • Bechdel Test Fest: Beyond The Lights London Premiere (2015)
    Bechdel Test Fest: Beyond The Lights London Premiere (2015)31 July: Picturehouse Cinema (Ritzy Brixton and Picturehouse Central) One of our 2015 highlights was hosting the London premiere of Gina Prince-Bythewood’s Beyond the Lights. Starring BAFTA rising star nominee Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Belle), the film was initially set for a home entertainment-only release in the UK. We felt certain that the US film, which is partially set in Brixton, would attract a UK audience. We fought to have the film screened at the Ritzy and were eventually given permission to give the film its London premiere.
