Producer
ill, actually is a short documentary about young disabled people and online identity. Commissioned by the BBC and BFI, the film has screened on BBC Four, at the BFI Southbank, at the Barbican and at BAFTA-qualifying film festivals internationally, including at Superfest Disability Film Festival in San Francisco.
The film was featured in The Times, Radio Times, UK Film Review, Enable Magazine and Director’s Notes. It won ‘Best First Film’ at Together! Disability Film Festival and earned me a nomination for ‘Best Producer’ at BAFTA-qualifying Underwire Film Festival. Director’s Notes called the film “a pertinent reminder of the wider need for empathy still missing in contemporary society.”
Press Reset, 2020
Campaign Member
As a member of the BFI Disability Advisory Screen Group, I participated in the BFI’s 2020 ‘Press Reset’ campaign. The goal of the campaign was to bring attention to the under-representation of disabled stories & talent in Film & TV. The video was shared widely, gaining 250k+ views.
Press Reset, 2021

The second iteration of our Press Reset campaign launched in November 2021 with the theme #EndAbleism. This time round, we sought to define what ableism means, and to show how it impacts D/deaf and disabled people in Film & TV.
