– What are your expectations for 2026?

I hope to find and work more jobs related to film in 2026 and use my artistic skills to help others.

– What projects are you currently working on?

Not much at the moment. I recently helped a disabled learning artist at Venture Art create unique photo slideshow video collections using his photographs and motto. The themes included food and pets such as cats and dogs, with handwritten captions added in Premiere Pro. I also cleaned up the caption backgrounds using Photoshop.

– What would you ask event organizers in the film industry to do in order to support the creativity of highly talented independent artists like yourself?

I would encourage event organizers in the film industry to increase funding schemes for new filmmakers. This support should extend not only to local artists, but also to international creators and recent graduates who often struggle to obtain the support they need to develop their projects.

I also believe there should be more film industry networking events and job fairs, not only in London but in cities like Manchester as well. This would give emerging filmmakers better opportunities to gain exposure and connect with professionals in the field.

Providing more free online platforms would also greatly benefit new filmmakers. These platforms could help them showcase their work, promote themselves, find job opportunities, and build valuable networks with others in the industry.

Additionally, organizing practical workshops for newcomers—such as trainees and entry-level creatives—would help them develop essential skills, gain hands-on experience, and increase their visibility within the film community.

Finally, I hope to see more job opportunities made available across various areas of filmmaking. This would support anyone seeking work in the industry, especially those who need accessible pathways to begin their careers.

– What vision or desire currently guides your artistic choices?

My artistic vision is guided by a desire to use documentary filmmaking to share people’s stories and support communities in needs. I aim to work on local projects, learn about people’s needs and aspirations, and help them express their uniqueness by promoting their stories at low cost.

I also hope to discover meaningful stories and showcase them through social media and other free online platforms so that everyone can benefit and have their voices heard.

Additionally, I want to continue developing my filmmaking skills—both in shooting and editing—so I can create more independent projects with greater confidence and impact.
