homage
role: Director, Producer
the ask:
Create a short film for the charity Hackney Caribbean Elders Organisation to showcase the work they do for the community, showcasing the people and telling their story.
the solution:
a 3 minute short that allows audience to connect with the charity on an emotional level, really get to know the members to truly understand why this space is important. Focusing on one particular member takes the audience through time showing the lives lived, the contributions made and why this generation should not be forgotten.
the impact:
sunday dinner was officially selected for the Reel Sisters of the Diaspora Film Festival, an Academy Award-qualifying festival that celebrates films by women of colour. The project also received national media coverage, with a feature on Channel 5 News where I discussed the campaign, the creative process, and the importance of breaking stereotypes through inclusive storytelling.
