An awkward first date spirals into chaos when a mix-up over a missing leg leads to a series of bizarre misunderstandings. ‘Angela’ is a charming short comedy about love, limbs and lateral incisors.
Director Statement We all have insecurities—some justified, some fleeting, and others so deep-rooted that they dictate our lives and prevent us from pursuing what we truly want. Angela is a film that explores the latter. Why do these fears hold such power over us? Why do we allow them to control our actions?
In a world that encourages constant self-scrutiny, we often become our own harshest critics—acting as judge, jury, and executioner. Amidst the pressure to stand out and be unique, we paradoxically let these very differences weigh us down. But Angela challenges this cycle, reminding us that the only way to overcome our insecurities is to stand and smile. This film is a celebration of self-acceptance and the strength it takes to embrace who we truly are.
Biography
After capturing the raw energy of Camden’s local bands, I transitioned into promo directing, where I not only directed but also composed music for my projects, earning a UK MVA nomination for my band’s music video.
Over the years, I've directed music videos and commercials for major brands and independent artists alike. My passion for storytelling led me to write and direct my first short film, ROGER, featuring John Bradley and Seann Walsh. This project kickstarted my journey into filmmaking, resulting in nine additional short films and a documentary, which have been showcased at over 100 prestigious film festivals worldwide, including several BAFTA and Academy-qualifying ones, and have garnered multiple Méliès d'Argent nominations.
In 2024, I optioned two spec scripts to US companies, The Forge and About It Films, with myself attached as director for both.
As a filmmaker, I am driven to create unique, character-focused stories that challenge the ordinary and explore the strange and surreal. My work is about pushing boundaries, taking risks, and inspiring others to do the same.
