Five years ago, at 21 years old, I launched Shasha. Five years of blood sweat and tears. Of fighting my ass off. 100% independent ALWAYS. No funding No investment No bullshit. Freedom. Thank you everyone in the Shasha world. A service in service of our community.
We love you!! To the future of cinema…
We’re here to stay. To Fifty more years.
P.S. Producer Bella made me do this becuase I am allergic to celebrating success

My debut novel SCENE CITY forthcoming by @versobooks October 2026!
Special thanks to the group chat who’ve been on this wild ride since the beginning. To my agent and editor. To my Notes app. And to everyone who read drafts over the years. I’m a bit mad but it always pays off…

A new play PRETENDER opening 28th April until 10th May 2025 at Playhouse East in London. Directed and written by myself.
Over a decade ago I had an idea for a feature film that never had a lead actor. I found her. Starring Róisín Tapponi, who has pushed herself to her limits for this extremely challenging role. The theatre version, opposite Peter Duncan.
Special thank you to my theatre producer Lisa Mustafa, Sebastian Foux and James and Avital. Book now, link in my bio.
I’ve submitted my PhD!!! At the old age of 25,🤓📚 It was an 80,000 word thesis completed at the University of St. Andrews where I received a fully-funded academic scholarship.
Doing a PhD alongside working full-time for two and half years was challenging, but I did it. I‘ll probably turn it into a book… Huge moment for me .
