Our second film for The World Bank, encouraging policy makers and the public to engage with complex economic policies and information. We used the most recent breakthroughs in AI technology to create the animation which tells the story of the development goals and priorities of Bhutan through the eyes of one family. Challenging but also exciting to see what you can do!

Delighted to deliver this film for the The World Bank. We took a densely written economic report and tranformed it into a short, impactful and emotionally engaging story. Filmed in the UK with real footage from Bangladesh this short film makes use of exciting new Real Unreal Engine technology. Fun!

This 15 minute storytelling film weaves together stories from individuals and groups in health intentionally leading change. It reveals some of the many ways that these changemakers have managed to significantly impact their health care environments and improve health outcomes, often through relatively small, local interventions. From improving patient safety and reducing patient harm, to promoting community health and introducing compassion in health leadership - these stori

We were so delighted to have talented young film maker Ella Vincenzi as part of the team on our project for WHO. She documented the process and has made a lovely short film of our journey. It was great to reflect on the process while we were going through it and was a really helpful way of bringing perspective to any challenges as well as constantly connecting us back to our core purpose in making it.

Great to see the film coming together... still work to do on graphics, grade and sound, and finalising credits... but its getting there!

We have found a fantastic warehouse location to film this project - in Bermondsey, London. It used to be a victorian tannery and is full of atmosphere. Its great to see everything coming together and particularly exciting to hear the fantastic music filling the spaces as we work from Tunde Jegede and Renu, and to have the youngest member of the team - our actress Ulrika's 4 month old baby girl Maitreya - on set with us today. What an honour!

Having interviewed health care workers from all around the world we transcribed all the interviews, and then set about doing a thematic analysis. Once we had established the key themes that came through, we began to write a script. This was a long process! The first script was over half an hour long, and after numerous discussions and a lot of soul searching we have managed to cut the script down to 15 minutes. Its heartbreaking to lose some of the stories but we hope to be a

An article I co-authored - Psoriasis: The Skin I’m In – Development of a behaviour change tool to improve the care and lives of people with psoriasis - has been published in the CED (Clinical & Experimental Dermatology). It can be accessed from the Wiley online library here . It is an academic response to the research we conducted for our film Psoriasis; The Skin I'm In.

We are very excited to be collaborating with The WHO and The Presencing Institute to listen to the stories of change makers at all levels in the health sector worldwide and to create another storytelling film. We will take the key themes from these conversations and weave a narrative from their stories to shed light on what it means to be a change maker. Through the power of storytelling this film will inspire other potential change makers and provide inspiration for change
