Things Tough
Enraged landlady, Louise, marches over to the house occupied by her tenants- intent on collecting her rent. But instead, she meets Jane, a young mother working as the tenants' housekeeper, who has a dark secret. This is a story that shows just how far people will go when things are tough.

As the immediate President of the Barbados Film and Video Association, Damien was able to help shape policies that dictate the industry. Being the youngest President in the association’s history enabled him to have a unique perspective on issues.
His work over the years has been accepted into festivals in North America, Spain, Austria, UK, Italy, Haiti, Trinidad, and Suriname just to name a few. He credits this to my background in journalism, which helped him to get to the core of a project in a way that the viewing audience can clearly identify with.
This has led him to winning the Barbados Visual Media Award 2014 in the best editing category for Going Beyond.
I am a Caribbean award-winning filmmaker and journalist who has been recognised for my work internationally.
