Still Grab from Graduation Documentary "Saturday Night Butch" (2025) – Director. Director of Photography - Diana Franco.

I am a British film director and recent graduate with a BA (Hons) in Film Production, and my identity as a Queer Dyke is strongly reflected in my work. I have a background in both fiction and documentary filmmaking which I have built over the last five years, making commissioned short films for organisations such as Shakespeare’s Globe and Imperial War Museum.

Over the last three years, I have worked with another graduate from my course, Lisa-Marie Soulier, who produces our filmmaking endeavours. I have recently begun making other forms of commissioned work, such as music videos and adverts, providing me with a wider platform for her work. I focus on women's stories, which is where my drive and passion lies.


My graduation film Saturday Night Butch explores the positive impacts of Lesbians nightclubs through five Queer women from various eras. The team and I travelled across the UK to find and understand their community, visiting nightclubs to barbershops. Bringing Lesbians together has brought a new and long overdue appreciation for masculine presenting Lesbians. The community’s involvement has brought a unique perspective to Lesbian documentary.
