DIRECTORS NOTE
As the child of someone with hoarding behaviours, I've grappled with the stigma and shame surrounding the condition. Through my own journey of understanding and acceptance, I've been inspired to create a film that sheds light on the human side of hoarding, challenging stereotypes and fostering empathy. By portraying the complexities of parent-child relationships affected by hoarding, my aim is to encourage audiences to recognise and accept these challenges with compassion, fostering open conversations and encouraging those affected by hoarding to seek support.

In 2020 she joined Kino Bino as their Producer. ‘Of all the Things’ is her first animated short. This production has offered her the opportunity to develop and provide opportunities for women entering the animation industry.

WOMEN IN ANIMATION
Through this project we have been able to provide unique creative opportunities for women in animation and film. Working across concept, story, design, animation and sound we’ve been able to give these women some of their first short film experience and a BFI credit.
