This is my graduation film production degree project, which was described as “Gripping, Beautiful and Unique” by audiences and the Film Programme Coordinator at SAE Institute London. I have received many testimonials for this project, including a cinema screening that saw audiences of all backgrounds, especially under-represented groups who felt connected to the film.
