Dr Sally Clack-Manning | Filmmaker, Writer, Rapper, Storyteller

I’m a creative force at the intersection of grit and glitter. As writer, director, and lead lady of Gatwick Gangsters, a full-throttle feature film, I fused absurdity, drama, and stylized satire into a whirlwind of British noir. Before turning cameras into weapons of mass entertainment, I was an independent stockbroker in the USA—consistently ranked number 1 out of 89,000 professionals for three consecutive years, based on sales placed with Putnam Mutual Funds. That same drive, precision, and fearless instinct now fuel my cinematic ventures.

My recent music video Losing Ace Remix, co-directed with David Manning, dives into the emotional wreckage of domestic violence. Told through my own lived experience and set against the pulsing neon of Miami, this rap narrative channels heartbreak into advocacy. It’s more than art—it’s a cinematic cry for awareness, courage, and change.

On the flip side lies Stanley the Gas Dog: a chew-sized, high-octane animated romp starring a four-legged rebel who sniffs out unbeatable boiler deals across Surrey. Created in iClone 8 and polished with Adobe Premiere Pro, colour grading, and sound mixing, Stanley barrels through creative chaos with slapstick charm and storytelling precision.

Now, I’m deep into my latest venture—Adventures of Joe Red—my first animated movie, where spontaneity meets sparkle. As always, I let narratives tumble forward, shaping every frame into something that defies the ordinary. I believe humour can cut through darkness, and absurdity can anchor truth.

Each project I touch aims to entertain, provoke, and shift perspectives. So whether you’re watching a gangster stumble over glitter trails or hearing a dog howl boiler bargains, you’re stepping into my world—a place where every tail-wag fuels the next big idea.
