Bit mad getting two shortlists at this year’s @_onepointfour
Here are a few snippets from the series we did for @_j.l_a.l_ and one of my favorite improvised moments from @aksilfilm
Privilege working with everyone on these, and for the ridiculously talented performances by all the cast

As our festival run for @aksilfilm comes to an end, we're grateful to every festival that programmed our film and helped it to travel the world.
While rooted in the British zeitgeist, we always meant for this story to be a universal one. That's why we're thrilled to share that AKSIL has found its online home with @minute.shorts !
A massive thank you once again to the spectacular cast and crew who brought this project to life.
AKSIL will be available on the @minute.shorts platform as of Tuesday, February 10th 🍿
So much love for everyone who brought this one to life-and to Khalil and Seif for trusting me with the story. More soon, but for now, here’s a glimpse.
