My first Oscars! ✨
The journey @afodorothy_film has taken us on has been nothing short of a dream. It was the greatest privilege to celebrate our industry with veterans I look up to, surrounded by friends and peers both old and new. While we didn’t bring home gold, I got to fulfill a 22-year-old promise to my mum: that one day we’d be back at the Dolby Theatre steps, this time attending the Academy Awards (last slides).
Thank you to @theacademy , and much love to all on Team Dorothy and at @londonflairpr 🙏

We are honoured to announce A FRIEND OF DOROTHY has been nominated for the Oscar® for Best Live Action Short Film 2026!
Congratulations to all on Team Dorothy 🥳
We filmed A FRIEND OF DOROTHY just over a year ago, and today we’ll be attending the 98th Academy Awards as a nominated film for Best Live Action Short.
Receiving @theleeknight ’s trust to help bring his wonderful writing to screen with @jddean1 and @scottiemilagro is something I’ll be forever grateful for. Finding new friends in the cast/crew/PR of Team Dorothy is the absolute cherry on top. Whatever happens, I’m so incredibly proud of us all.
