Interested in collaborating with producers & writers on screen work. Shorts/ features/ tv.
Based in the UK, but happy to work internationally for a good story!
I’d be so grateful for shares or recommendations 🙏🏽 🌍

#ThroughItAllTogether scores a powerful goal – one that hits you right in the heart. New play @cpoconnor87 @LeedsPlayhouse puts #LUFC straight through to the First Division. Beautifully written and sensitively directed @gitikabuttoo. Great chemistry @reece_dinsdale @ShobnaGulati

#ThroughItAllTogether by @cpoconnor87 at @LeedsPlayhouse is absolutely beautiful! Every beat is on point. Essentially a story about the enduring power of love; through the pain of dementia and of a football team that struggles to make promotion. @gitikabuttoo's direction is...1/3

We’re having an absolute ball so far rehearsing #ThroughItAllTogether @LeedsPlayhouse
Actors and creatives all supporting one another for the good of the whole.
As it should be!
If we fall through the cracks… it won’t be from lack of mutual respect, good will and endeavour. 🙌
