FILM DIRECTOR

So thankful to be part of this amazing festival. I won my first award in the program ‘States of Mind’ - very happy with it. I love the focus on the inside world and feel honored to be curated with my Scottish film. Such a nice team making so many filmmakers visible. Thanks again from the Netherlands!

Student film festivals are needed more than ever to fix the UK's broken creative skills pipeline... Events like these don't just deserve celebration, but replication.
