Her short film, The Heart Fails Without Warning, adapted from a Hilary Mantel short story, screened at multiple international festivals.

Her second feature, The Black Forest, a dark comedy, was nominated for the Michael Powell Award for Best British Film at Edinburgh International Film Festival in 2019.
‘This skin-prickling supernatural story crafts an effectively airless atmosphere of uncanny melancholy. It’s the kind of horror which eschews jump scares in favour of a more subtle, gauzy sense of unease, a slow-burning discomfort that creeps up on the audience like a half-seen shadow’. Screen Daily. Martyrs Lane Review.

Freddie Gaminara
Freddie spends a questionable amount of time reliving 90’s wrestling glory days and keeping up with football. He enjoys a good poker hand, a bad joke and pretending both are part of a bigger strategy.
