Too Polite by Eric. @itseric_music
It’s been a very polite journey making this one with some very polite humans 🧍♂️, polite teddy bears 🧸 and polite flowers 🌼. I have been secretly overjoyed by how everyone brought their own unique politeness to this piece. :)
(No bears and flowers were harmed in the process.)

Set inside an empty space, Dissipate follows a dancer as he gives himself over to the rhythm, tracing how music can dissolve boundaries between body and mind.
Directed by @that_turtle_there , the film moves through shifting states of emotion and control, showing what happens when movement becomes both surrender and self-discovery.

"That sense of self gradually dissipates when you allow your mind and physical body to fully surrender to the stream of music you love” – Kate S

Hide the Heinz 🍅 for @heinz_uk - @shinyawards Finalist-
/Creative Concept/
We’ve all done it: hiding our fav from the late night, family fridge raiders. When it’s that good, it’s too good to share!
Inspired by the days I used to Hide my Heinz, literally. (Are those days really over though?)
Thank you to the 🍅 team! And the lovely team + folks at @shinyawards and @motherlondon . Genuinely moved and warmed by the kind words and support to Hide the Heinz 🥲. Our aim was to brainwash people. We did that, we hope. And we are happy about it.
Special kudos to the sound and score team for diving right into all that craziness and beyond with me! (Hide the Heinz….hide it! I definitely brainwashed myself to a point of no return. Hide ittt!)

Had the pleasure to join a @directorslibrary roundtable with some incredibly talented directors lately.
I felt so grateful for such candid conversations we had.
Lots to think. Lots to learn. (Including how Not to spill tea on the table right off the start!)
Thank you for the snacks and having me.
‘Dissipate’ explores the quiet euphoria of being truly alone—with nothing but movement and music. No watchers. No judgment. Just a body in motion, dissolving into rhythm.
Directed by London-based filmmaker Kate S., known for her vibrant visuals and dry humour, Dissipate is a stripped-back, emotionally rich piece that blends bold aesthetics with introspective storytelling. With a background that spans East and West—and mentorship under Oscar and Sundance-winning filmmakers—Kate brings a rare, cross-cultural depth to her work.
Catch ‘Dissipate’ on the big screen this Wednesday at @actone_cinema as part of our short film open mic.
