I was lucky to be featured in this piece by Channel 4 along with my film 'Existential Dread & Other Vibes'. This has long been an important issue I'm passionate in being apart of changing, through my work with Arts Emergency.

Working class creatives in film and TV at lowest level in decade – Channel 4 News
The old adage "it's who you know not what you know" has always applied to the creative industries and despite attempts to change the image of a sector dominated by nepotism, and run by the upper middle class, this programme can reveal that less than 10% of film and TV workers are from working class backgrounds, the lowest in a decade.
