I’ve spent years judging film festivals, curating selections, and organizing film events but I never had one of my own. I always dreamed of giving back to the filmmaking community, of amplifying voices that have never been heard, of celebrating the auteurs fighting to leave their mark on cinema.

A year ago, I decided to make that dream real: an International Film Gala, right here in London.

This year has tested me in every way imaginable. Obstacles, setbacks, and moments that felt impossible but we didn’t stop. And in the end, we created something extraordinary. A space not just to showcase incredible projects, but to connect filmmakers, spark collaborations, and help shape a brighter future for cinema.

With no sponsors, only the support of my company @ephorpics and an incredible, dedicated team, none of this would have been possible.

Hearing the gratitude of every single guest - over 100 filmmakers who travelled from all corners of the world - touched me in ways I can’t even describe.

There is so much in my heart right now. Too much. And it’s beautiful. You are beautiful.

2025!!!!
A year of change.
Continuously getting to work with those I love spending time with!
2025 was the year of my final film, uni screening, GRADUATION, directing my first music video and picking up photography/videography with my friend @torin.howard

I got to work with the amazing people you see in the posts! As well as not in the posts!! Either for the first time or getting the honour to again!

A notable moment was getting to dip my toes in method acting, whilst working on a project with @michaeljfilerfilms which has only made me want to do it again!!! Hint hint… if anyone fancies that…

Moving into 2026 I’m hoping to work with all these people again and many more!! As well as seeing old friends! and challenging myself with more emotional roles and storylines!

I’m always hoping to write more! Direct more! And act more! As well as developing in all those aspects!

Looking forward to this next year! And thankyou to everyone apart of this previous one!

It is super annoying that it only lets you tag 20 people!!! You have all been so important to me!
