Dogmeā25 gang
Hadnāt made a film in two years, but the lil film club Iām in forced me back into the drivers seat. We each made a film in two weeks with a set of restrictions (in the style of the Dogme 95) āØ
Watch on my website, link in bio š
Make films with your friends till the end.
Last October I woke up in the back of an ambulance tied down to a stretcher. Iād had another demonic possession. After two they call it Epilepsy.
I had to move back into my childhood bedroom as I adjusted to medication that I will be on for the rest of my life. The main side effect was the most vivid and horrifying ultra HD nightmares. Every single night for three months Iād shoot up in bed, drenched in sweat. Trying desperately to self soothe, but the only thing that helped me was listening to music full blast in my headphones. I gradually built this playlist of the most effective songs that Iād return to.
Canāt find the words to thank the people who step up, not just in the moment, but in the months of confusion and frustration, when I wasnāt allowed to go anywhere alone, checking in, calling me an attention seeker, taking me for lunch, to the cinema, on the train, and staying with me so I could go back to my flat for a night here and there.
Iāve been beeped, scanned and hooked up to machines, I am the unexpected item in the bagging area.
P.S.
Donāt put a spoon in my mouth š„ š«Ø

the best time āØ
More things that have altered my brain chemistry š§ š§Ŗ
1/ The time I was 22 and went to the Grand Canyon and thought the hole was too big, and have had existential dread about it ever since. This also looks like one of those photos taken seconds before the person gets struck by lightning. 2015.
2/ The time Philly walked away from her own wedding party to put me in the stocks. 2024.
3/4/ Mary Margaret OāHara performing You Know Why Youāre Happy on Sunday Night Live. 1989. Something about her and this performance has a hold on me.
5/ The time me and Imran were tired already, on the way to his sisterās wedding. 2023.
6/ Capturing my day oneās essence on her wedding day. 2023.
7/The time this chair swing at winter wonderland spun us up so hard we turned to plasma. 2021.
8/ The time me and Dawn looked like teen killers on the run. 2022.
9/ Me with my replacement camera, swipe to next slide to see why I was smiling. 2024.
10/ The time me and Tushie went to Eel Pie Island and it was a bit shit but the company wasnāt. 2024

Last Christmas (wham! reference) I directed this advert with @grey__moth š š»
I basically just spent a bunch of time standing in the street looking at sad postmen and thinking wow you look sad, maybe a drawing from a child stalker would make all your problems go away š
More seriously working on this was really special to me, with a team that was genuinely a dream to work with āØ
