Fawn Congratulations to Molly for their two recent screenings of Fawn @norwichfilmfestival and @asffestival . Can’t wait to see the journey this film will go on. This is such a beautiful and delicate film and I loved sitting with Molly in the suite for the grade. Lots of heartfelt chats were had 🥹 After her parents’ death, Fawn must confront long-buried memories when she returns to her childhood home, facing an emotional journey of reconciliation with the life she once abandoned.

Death Row Dogs 🐶 Absolutely loved working with @filmsbysomerset on this beautiful heartfelt film. Inspired by the @pawsitivechangeprogram , Somerset went to California to document the transformative rescue dog training program that is changing lives. These dogs, that were set to be euthanized, are saved by @marleysmutts and are given a second chance - just like the inmates. A cycle of serving time and reoffending is endemic in prison systems across the globe. But in California, a transformative rescue dog training program is providing an unlikely solution. As both inmates and their canine pupils confront their traumas, they embark on a journey of hope, rehabilitation, and mutual salvation.

New work! Music video - Chico The Look Andalusia has a special place in my heart (I will be back there is a few weeks ☺️) so it was an absolute pleasure to work on this music video for Christian Mira @mira.cg . Shot last summer in his home town of Málaga and featuring his family and friends, it perfectly captures for me the vibrancy of Andalusian culture. That southern Spanish light is also just a dream! 💃🏻 The song is yet to be released so here is a sneak peak of a few stills!

🦀 RED EGG & GINGER premieres today at @tribeca Film Festival! Catch me in New York from 9th-15th June where I’ll be schmoozing my socks off 🧦 🦀 RED EGG & GINGER follows Hannah, a half-white and half-Chinese teenager, whose father has remarried and recently had a baby who is 100% Chinese. When Hannah meets her baby half-sister for the first time at her Red Egg & Ginger Party-a traditional Chinese event that celebrates the birth of a newborn baby-Hannah feels an intense jealousy and competitiveness towards the baby. Any film where the main protagonist has beef with a baby is going to be great! 😉 Starring: @leahdawsn @siennashih @dtks888 @quanna_l Director: @oliviaowyeung Co-Writer: @hitraceymurray Producer: @toyosifuwa DOP: @sean.dop Production Designer: @claudmorles Editor: @contromaro Sound Designer: @nicksmyth20 Composer: @harps_mudhar Colourist: @emmacolours_ @emma__charles 🙋🏻‍♀️🎨 1st AC: @gabriellescobie 2nd AC: @yourayne Grip Support @ralphsimmonscam Dailies B Camera Operator: @jonathon.legrice B Camera 1st AC: @jim_micrack Gaffer: @peterfkehoe Best Boy: @finleyonorris Spark(s): @solar_buckler @williambrowne @abilash.mov @rou.linkd @anchor.neo @max_conran Derig Sparks: Charlie Stockdale @tom.homer_ @jonbland56 #redeggandginger #tribecafilmfestival #nyc #filmcolourist
