Finalist
Florence's day job is as a WRITER at the advertising agency Wieden and Kennedy. Her portfolio includes award-winning work for Nike, Sainsbury's, Vimto, Diet Coke and TK Maxx where she met esteemed commercial director Jeff Low, who convinced her to pursue directing.
More recently she has started to build a name for herself on the awards circuit, after recently receiving funding to direct a short film she wrote, working closely with Biscuit Filmworks for both commercial and narrative work.
The film draws a poignant parallel to mental health struggles, exploring the stigma around asking for help. The captain’s reluctance mirrors the way many people minimize their own needs, fearing judgment or rejection even in times of great peril.
