Image Description: a white man and black woman embrace each other with a feeling of desperation, in the centre of a living room scene with colours of grey brown, burgundy and mustard yellow. The wall of the room are falling open and you can see an open field in the background through a large block framed window. The light is golden and majestic.

Wow what an amazing night! I’m so grateful to everyone who came to support me yesterday and to the whole creative team, cast and crew for their amazing work on Floodgate. I will be forever grateful to for bringing such integrity to the character and story (and agreeing to swim in the North Sea in November!) Thanks to and all the tutors at and for the opportunity, resources and access to this amazing platform.

Huge congratulations to the other 5 directors for their amazing films. I loved watching all of them on the big screen. Sharing this journey with you has made the whole process so much more special .abbiss .moody 🫶🏽 🎥 I’m proud of us

Last week I had my 44th Birthday and I decided to treat myself to a new Fujifilm XT-2 (with help from family Bday contributions). I took it on our family trip to Morocco to have a little play around and I love it. Just as everything that I do, I am learning by doing and am very much figuring things out as I go along but I love playing around with the colours. Any other Fujifilm owner friends who have some good tips or just want to geek out a bit with me, give me a shout!

Images: A collection of 10 photos taken in Agadir, Morocco featuring the beautiful coastline at sunset, a blurry image of the boardwalk, some interesting door frames, palm trees in our hotel (in B&W) and a group of super cool and talented youngsters playing keepy-uppy on the beach.

I’ve been mostly in postproduction for my Prime Video film at lately. Close to finishing ‘Floodgate’, my first narrative short, a poignant story of motherhood, with notes of surrealism and northern wry humour that we shot up in Whitby N.Yorkshire over 4 cold November days. I will be ready to share it with the world soon 😃 It’s been quite a journey so far. Grateful to have been working with such a wonderful creative team.

3. My lovely sound team and me after a long day mixing. .jiaren
4. A group of women from NFTS who were rounded up by my wonderful composer to add some beautiful vocals on to the song at the end of the film 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
