My most recent personal project, Birds Talk to Humans All the Time (2024), can be seen below. (4 minutes 32 seconds). I’d prefer if you watched the film before reading more about me, as it feels important to allow space for your own emotional and intuitive response before encountering my reflections on the process behind it.

Below are some reflections on the filmmaking process, alongside an interview discussing the work further.

My filmmaking/art practice is rooted in self-reclamation, it is concerned with finding ways to relate to myself consciously, rather than through externally imposed roles and identities. I share my work so that others might encounter something of themselves too, without needing to arrive at a fixed meaning.

The film emerged from my attempt to make sense of a real crow attack that took place after writing a story about being excluded as a child, through the use of experimental filmmaking techniques. The process of making became a way of thinking and feeling through an experience rather than trying to neatly resolve it.
