🎥 In celebration of the ones before us.
On the Ukrainian border of Central Europe, elders in our minuscule village wear their history and speak of it frequently. Wrinkles are laced with double meanings and dark humour…which we appreciate as optimists.
The last of those we love, who have vivid memories of Chernobyl, premature heartbreaks, World Wars, relentless village antics, Holodomor, agricultural upbringing and fond memories of queuing up with ration cards in mittened -20 trails up till ‘89, are finding their wings to God.
The old sleep and less are being born here, or come back. The smallest-populated and most profound village I know.
It’s to responded prayers, that we embrace sending off our oldest matriarch on Valentine’s Day.
Dużo dużo miłości// Lots and lots of love 🌹🦅🇵🇱

Most recently, I’ve been lucky to facilitate as crew on short-form productions under the AD’s wing. These have included short narratives: ‘Siobhan’, ‘Canvas Playground’, ‘Felicity’, ‘This is because...’ etc.
My most recent acting credit is in a wonderful DOP’s directing debut: ‘Speculation’. I’m working away at fleshing out my own debut writing, which has been circling trusted mentors and peers for possible production.
We are so excited to invite you to Doubles: An R&D at Riverside Sharing — a special opportunity to catch this brilliant new piece of writing in development.
