In 2016, I produced Adele, a short film exploring the struggles of a 14-year-old African-Australian girl torn between her high school life and her family’s traditional expectations. Adele received widespread acclaim, winning Best Live Action Short at the Sydney Film Festival in 2017 and earning Official Selections at Flickerfest and the St Kilda Film Festival that same year. As a female film producer, this project exemplified my passion for telling stories that amplify marginalised voices and address important social issues.
