Here it is - the first film from SH*T MOTH.
Created for
@_youmakeit as part of Media Trust’s Charity Film programme, and premiered at
@britishfilminstitute .
The film is about mentorship - so we built it that way. Emerging talent joined the crew, learning on set, stepping up, and becoming part of the making.
Over 70% of the cast and crew were women - not by accident, but by intention - in collaboration with a charity that exists to support young women across London.
What began as a short film became a full 360 campaign - billboards across the city and a suite of micro films for social - built by an extraordinary collective who showed up with care, craft and belief.
As a directing and producing partnership, this project marks the beginning of SH*T MOTH not just as an idea, but as a working creative collective.
Every person listed below shaped this film. Their generosity is in every frame.
This is the first. And it belongs to all of us.
