Director Biography - Daisy Wesson

My intention as a  filmmaker is to create pieces that compel, engross, entertain and challenge audiences into critical engagement with the screen. The collaborative and discursive development of ideas that shine a light on interesting people, cultures, places and their stories is what inspires me to make films.

The production of #Lovelylegs has offered a huge learning curve in the importance to not only achieve our intent but also stay true to the inspiring real person this story is from. The aim of this film was to subvert common conventions used in contemporary cinema whilst engaging audiences with a sensitive issue.
