Super excited to share that TILL THE END has been selected as a top 10 Finalist for the Look Aside Fund. ⚡️ Written & directed by the brilliant @preciousmustaph and produced by @mslisaleach at @dovecotepictures this is a bold, electric short set on the eve of a major gig, where one wild night threatens to tear apart a rising band from the inside out. So proud of this film and the incredible team behind it. Big love to the @lookasidefilms for celebrating exciting new voices and stories culture forward. We’re just getting started 🧨

A bit delayed - I was honestly speechless from the moment Neil @neiljeramcroft announced: “So the Golden Bee Short of the Festival is… Inflicted Kindness! 🐝 It was our world premiere and to win the main award right at the start of its festival journey is such an honour. Feels like we did something right! Simple, touching and deeply human. Thank you @mcrfilmfestival team, jury and @neiljeramcroft for creating such an incredible community where being yourself feels easy! To all the partners behind this film @nftsfilmtv , @marsvolume , @kodak_shootfilm , @digital_orchard , @thetreehouse_animation - for the support and belief that made it possible. Huge shout out to the team for going the extra mile and giving it so much love - it clearly finds its way through the screen and into people’s hearts 🥰 And most of all, my deepest gratitude to the absolute stars David Morrissey @davidmorrissey and Bea Anderson @_elizabethganderson for your trust, dedication and the immense work you put into creating such beautifully simple characters. More to come 😉

At the start of the year, we set out to create a home for Dovecote-a space that reflects who we are and the stories we want to tell. Dovecote Pictures is now live ✨ - link in bio 🔗 A space for the work and what’s to come.

LUNAR PICTURES x EXECUTIVE PRODUCING presents our new PRODUCER NETWORK ❤️‍🔥 At Lunar Pictures we have supported, nurtured and collaborated with filmmakers in the early parts of their careers.

2025 This year has definitely felt like a balancing period. A time to recalibrate, find my centre, and define what really mattered.I found my tribe-people I’m blessed to call friends and create with. I’ve worked on projects I’m immensely proud of and had the privilege of contributing to, and being part of, a community I’m fiercely proud of. There’s much work to do in 2026, but if it’s anything like 2025, it will be a blessing. 2025 Highlights • Associate Producer on End Of Play huge thanks to @daniellegofff and @_edemm for trusting me to be a part of their vision 🤌🏽 • Produced two short films, bringing my total to 15 (Go Me 💐!!) • Began working in scripted development and acquisitions with a brilliant team • FAWN was longlisted for the Student BAFTAs and selected for the CAA Moebius Showcase in LA • Cannes for work — will never get old • Multiple festival runs this year with films I’ve worked on -always a pinch me moment 🥹 • Dream trip to Turkey-the reset I needed 🇹🇷 That’s a wrap. Season 2 coming 2026 ✌🏽

We are elated to announce @teereidfilms next project MAKE A WISH. 🎂✨ The short drama focuses on a religious widow whose devout religious convictions are tested as she attempts to reconnect with her estranged trans son. We had the pleasure of working with some phenomenal cast including @theangelagriffin , @cj.beckford & @abstractkid_ who brought Tee’s script to life beautifully. A word from Tee: I couldn’t have done it without my amazing team headed by my badman producers @daniellegofff & @mslisaleach . It was an honour and a pleasure to work with all my cast and crew and I’m excited for you all to see what we made soon. Coming to a screen near you in 2026! ✨ Produced by @lunar.picturesltd & @dovecotepictures 📸: The wonderful @hayleybenoit
