Director Statement

As my first short-film, Happy Together holds a very dear place in my heart. It was created entirely from the UK lockdown. The two actors have never met, and the entire rehearsal and filming process was done over Zoom. I wanted to build hope during these uncertain times and make a difference, so the film is being used as a fundraiser to raise money for AgeUK Lincoln and South Lincolnshire where I grew up.
