A Glass House

A Glass House is a deeply personal film born from a challenging period in my life. Conceived and written while I was homeless, this film is an intimate exploration of grief, cultural identity, and the struggle to find our voices. It's been an incredible journey to see it come to life after years of hard work.

The story takes inspiration from my partner’s mixed heritage family, and how people from different cultures each struggle with our country's inability to process grief openly within the strict British societal structure.

As an optimist, I can’t help but believe in the power of positivity, even when confronting difficult subjects. So, I sought to create something authentic to my experience and of those close to me, something that resonates from the heart - breaking free from these constraints, embracing vulnerability, and finding solace in shared connection.

As a working-class and disabled artist and having worked on high-end sets, I've firsthand experienced the systemic barriers and mistreatment of marginalised individuals. It's crucial to me now as a director to provide opportunities for diverse voices, both on and off screen.

I believe in the power of cinema to heal, to inspire, and to challenge. This film is a reflection of my own journey, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a call to action for a more inclusive and empathetic world.
