Crossing the Screen International Film Festival, Eastbourne, UK (8th May 2026)
My short film, 'I don’t wanna be the best, I just wanna dance' (2025) has been selected for this forthcoming international film festival. It will be screened in the 'Dreams, Masks and Mirrors' programme at The Cavendish Hotel on Friday 8th May.
The work is a reimagining of my childhood memory of learning to dance, in order to overcome my shyness and defy the trauma of school bullying through a reflective telephone conversation with my mother. This narrated slide show draws upon three analogue photographs from the family album to illuminate my pursuit of self-transformation amid perceived failure.
