A somewhat humorous blog with a BIG MISSION
We did it. I did it. We did it!! Woohoo!! #Lifeline is now officially in post production. Here are some snaps from across 2.5 shoot days. It’s one of the toughest work challenges I’ve faced in life, not only as a newbie director – which was daunting in itself, but having...
As published on Fearless Femme on 30th May 2018. “Gee…Gee.” I turned towards the familiar voice calling me. My ex was dashing towards me one second, then he’d vanished the next — poof into thin air. The end. I’ve had a handful of these dreams over the years. I...
We’re officially finalists for the Cefalù Film Festival 2018 – winner to be announced soon – and were even shortlisted for the Corto Giovani award, a branch of the Cefalu Film Festival. Butterflies didn’t win the latter, which was announced in February, and that’s okay as we’re proud of our...
As published on Facebook on 15th May 2018 As part of Mental Health Week 2018, there’s a focus on combatting stress in the workplace.

(Can you believe they met in jail and betrothed their children, my grandparents, to marry one another?) Thank you for giving me...
As published on Facebook on 24 February 2018 Now and again you look for a sign that you’re on the right course, when taking your next big leap in life I was stopped in my tracks yesterday, when I randomly pulled this book out, about female filmmakers, at the BFI...
As shared on Facebook on 16th Feb 2018 Unfinished business is the story of my life – literally – and one of the themes of my first feature length screenplays I’m currently writing, loosely inspired by the voices I hear. This photo, taken last week, is an authentic burning of...
As published on Fearless Femme on 26th Jan 2018. “Believe in yourself, Gee.” “Stand tall, Gee.” “You CAN do this, Gee.” These were just some of the light voices I’d hear, urging to me hike up the mountain of empowerment, once I had plunged to rock bottom. It’s important to...
