Why I Vlog
A lot of you have been asking me questions on why I vlog since I started daily vlogging a few weeks ago-some of those include how to start, whether it's easy, worthwhile and even fun so without further ado here is a vlog about vlogging!
Brilliant Blog Posts 27th August 2015

How Do You Do It-The Most Common Question Asked of Working Mums
How do you do it? Do you find you're asked that a lot too? As in how do you work and raise a young family? Are you a superwoman or something?!

I'm often asked what my career is and although I'm a trained, award winning filmmaker and adore directing, the last few years have seen me become a full time blogger, a career that happened organically and is one I LOVE.
My Time at The Cannes Film Festival
I've tried to write this post a couple of times before now but in all honesty I've only just about recovered from what can only be described as an absolutely epic time at the Cannes Film Festival, 5 days on from returning home on Saturday...
One of the most famous film festivals in the world, this is the third time I've had the pleasure of attending this iconic celebration of film and it did not disappoint, let me tell you.
Off to the Cannes Film Festival
...As many of you know I'll soon be setting off for a few days at the Cannes Film Festival... First up is a dress fitting for frocks for the festival and BritMums Live with Fever London in the Big Smoke and a crazy-early flight to the South of France on Tuesday morning.
Watch my 2 Minute Directing Reel!
I wanted to share my latest showreel (it's what directors such as myself use to get more commissions: a short montage of the highlights of my directing work). Included below are clips from my multi award winning* short films, TV docs, drama, music videos, promos, fashion films and commercials. I've been fortunate enough to have worked with some of the finest actors and crew working today.
A Creative Life-Pushing Through The Self-Doubt

Writing, Writing…Striving for that Commission
Having been a writer/director for nearly 10 years means I'm used to the freelance way of life, the not knowing when or where my next job is coming from and that commissions are never guaranteed. Don't get me wrong, it's not easy but I'm used to it and happily accept it.
