Hold onto your thongs!

The brainchild of Writer/Director, Emilia Reid, Writer/Actor, Bella Younger, and Producer, Hannah Bilverstone, ‘Stella Gets Her Wings’ is a show for every woman who’s tired of being told how they should look. With the rise of the body positivity movement, it would have been the perfect year to finally put diversely sized women on the catwalk and end this sequin-clad homage to “thinspiration”. They didn’t, but luckily, we did.

Industry comments
“Fun…and really well done” David Heyman, producer of the Harry Potter films

“Simply amazing. So elegantly shot and beautifully crafted”

“Looks beautiful”

GirlGaze is a series of short film vignettes or visual poems exploring women on film. 

I wanted to explore the theory of the Male Gaze by depicting a woman as she really is and telling a very simple story about a moment in her life. 

Additionally I wanted to explore the audiences relationship with women on film by employing the added dimension of breaking the fourth wall. In doing this our woman engages with the audience - and whoever is behind the camera. Is it a man or a woman? Thus making an audience inadvertently become aware of, and question, the Male Gaze.
