Why did you decide to create a transgender film festival in the first place?
As a filmmaker I feel a strong need for more trans screen culture in London.
I want to support and encourage independent transgender filmmaking, so putting on a Transgender Film Festival seems like the best way to do that.
Self expression is vital for all of us, I learn so much from other people's stories and life experiences from all over the world.
Film festivals educate and bring social awareness to a wider audience, they breakdown isolation, they help people feel connected with the whole world again.
