"My Dearest," is my first feature length script by far the most complex and intimate script I have written yet.
Set in The 19th Century, a young upper-class woman journeys to find her true love for another woman, whilst discovering the dark truths of her world.
Inspired by the female writers of the 1800s, and my fascination with Victorian culture, this Gothic LGBT+ story speaks volumes about reflecting upon the world today and questions how much the world has truly changed.
Set in the heart of Kentish woodlands and countryside, this story encumbers the hostile and mysterious nature of 1800s England. It begins to strip back ideas of class, and plays truthfully to what truly matters in the world - "we are all but humans at the end of the day..."
Crowdfunding for the feature film to be announced very soon!

NIGHT FALL
Night Fall focuses on Zoe who becomes suspicious of another relation her boyfriend, Andrew, is having. She then faces her deepest and darkest thoughts imagining her relationship, and her own impulsive nature. Question is: do you really trust her imaginings?
Night Fall is my first ever short film that is based on my original screenplay that I wrote back in April, of this year. I collaborated with some of my very close friends, who are some of the most creative and thoughtful people I know. This was the first experience we all had in our own roles, that we were able to contribute individually and help support different elements of the film itself.
I want Night Fall to be a thought provoking experience for my audience really getting to grips on their own opinion of the protagonist, Zoe. Paying attention to the way she responds in her relationship, and whether or not her "vision" is an elaboration of what she believes her relationship is like.
It is an experimental movie that is challenging and quite possibly contradictory in some ways. It is also a film that is an exploration of something that I believe puts into perspective the way in which we perceive the roles of those involved in a relationship like so. Stereotypically, in some cases, we are to victimise the female - which is immediate - but then we miss what actually may have been the cause of the relationship to turn out this way. Night Fall tries to explain this, fundamentally arguing that in some cases the complexity of a relationship is misunderstood in hurtful relationships.
Though, some may interpret this film as a social satire. A way of exploiting how genders in society are expected to behave. The way that Andrew is clearly "allowed" to mentally and physically prepare what he does in this film compared to the way that Zoe can only mentally repress, and prepare - but no physical action can take place. Everything dark in Zoe's mind is exploring how she wishes to physically hurt Andrew for his behaviour, but ultimately she knows she cannot do this in "reality".
So, can we ultimately sympathise with Zoe? Do we trust her?
My intentions for Night Fall was to be something that keeps the audience engaged and constantly placing together what they interpret about the protagonists' relationship - and whether or not it is believable.
I hope you all enjoyed it, and if you have any other interpretations on the film you would like to share please do in the comments below!
