The Beauty of football
We headed on the road for 16 consecutive days, staying in little hotels that we could find to reach 68 clubs to create, The Beauty Of Football.
We wanted to showcase and highlight the power that football has in bringing communities together and how special moments that we all share collectively during games boosts our hearts bringing us all closer together. -
Unity
Unity was created after watching the division unfold before our eyes across the nation on the news and in real life on our streets. The poem really did write itself. I felt incredibly grateful to the production team for the countless versions of videos from Margate to Isle of Wight that were captured for this very special poem.

Time MACHINE (YEAR 2000)
With its opening line asking if Woolworths is still there, Time Machine amassed 1 million views in it’s first 48 hours transporting audiences back to a happier times and evoking many emotions. For me when creating this it was a huge surge of nostalgia which I often hold on too more times then I should.
Time Machine is actually a small piece taken from a larger project I am creating. Which we are currently fundraising for. It’s to develop a short film!
