Honoured to be one of the filmmakers selected to take part in Sheffield DocFest Filmmaker Challenge 2024. A dream come true. And the incredible Julie Cohen as a mentor is beyond what I could have ever dreamt of. I can't wait to start filming! 🎥

Today I get to celebrate the team again - this time our amazing industry/talks team who have devised a programme from the very practical (money! Skills! Producing!) to the ethical & representational impact of the work we do in docs. + parties as we are human (dancers) too 💃

Thrilled to announce that after months of hard work Sheffield DocFest industry program is finally out 🎉! Can’t wait to see you there 🙌🏼
